The common cold is a viral infection of the ? respiratory tract - ANSWERupper
Outbreaks of colds due to ? are most common in early fall and late spring -
ANSWERrhinoviruses
? are popular over-the-counter treatments for colds because of their action in drying
nasal secretions - ANSWERantihistamines
? refers to inflammation of the nasal passages, and sinusitis is inflammation of the ?
sinuses - ANSWERrhinitis, paranasal
The lower ? content in the sinuses facilitates the growth of organisms, impairs local
defenses, and alters the function of immune celss - ANSWERoxygen
Host antibodies to ? and ? prevent or ameliorate infection by the influenza virus -
ANSWERhemagglutinin, neuraminidase
The influenza viruses can cause three types of infections: an uncomplicated ?
respiratory infections, ? pneumonia, and a respiratory viral infection followed by a ?
infection - ANSWERupper, viral, bacterial
Because influenza is so highly contagious prevention relies primarily on ? -
ANSWERvaccination
Avian strains of the influenza virus do not usually cause outbreaks of disease in
humans unless a ? of the virus genome has occurred within an intermediate
mammalian host such as a pig - ANSWERreassortment
The term ? describes inflammation of parenchymal structures of the lung, such as
the alveoli and the bronchioles - ANSWERpneumonia
, ? refers to consolidation of part or all of a lung lobe, and ? signifies a patchy
consolidation involving more than one lobe - ANSWERlobar pneumonia,
bronchopenumonia
Hospital-acquired, or ? pneumonia is defined as a lower respiratory tract infection
that was not present or incubating on admission to the hospital -

common being ? pnemonia - ANSWERmycoplasma
? is the world's foremost cause of death from a single infectious agent -
ANSWERtuberculosis
Mycobacteria are similar to other bacterial organisms except for an outer ? cell wall
that makes them more resistant to destruction - ANSWERwaxy
? tuberculosis is a form of the disease that develops in previously unexposed, and
therefore unsensitized, persons - ANSWERprimary
The most frequently used screening methods for pulmonary tuberculosis are the ?
test and chest ? - ANSWERtuberculin skin, x-rays
? is caused by the dimorphic fungus histoplasma capsulatum and is one of the most
common fungal infections in the United States - ANSWERhistoplasmosis
? respiratory infections produce pulmonary manifestations that resemble
tuberculosis - ANSWERfungal
The number of Americans who develop lung cancer is decreasing, primarily because
of a decrease in ? - ANSWERsmoking
Cigarette smoking causes more than ? of cases of lung cancer in those over 65 years
of age - ANSWER60%
? are aggressive, locally invasive, and widely metastatic tumors that arise from the
epithelial lining of major bronchi - ANSWERLung cancers
The ? are small, round to oval cells that are approximately the size of a lymphocyte
and grow in clusters that exhibit neither glandular nor squamous organization -
ANSWERsmall cell lung cancers (SCLCs)
