(18) Sepsis - CORRECT ANSWER-Toxic condition caused by the spread of
bacteria or bacterial toxins from the site of infection
(18) Trypanosoma Cruzi - CORRECT ANSWER-Cause of Chagas' disease
, (18) Dry gangrene - CORRECT ANSWER-often occurs in persons with impaired

membranes such as the mouth, lower intestinal tract, lungs, and cervix
(18) Gas gangrene - CORRECT ANSWER-caused by bacteria that produce gas
within the infected tissue. Toxins produced will cause necrosis; if untreated the
condition is fatal.
(18) Principles of Viral Hemorrhagic Fever (VHF) - CORRECT ANSWER-group of
febrile illnesses ranging in severity from relatively mild to life-threatening. Caused
by four distinct viral families: Arenaviridae, Filoviridae, Bunyaviridae, and
Flaviviridae. All VHFs characterized by fever, overall vascular system damage, and
bleeding disorders that can lead to high fever, shock, and death. Although
distributed over much of the world, many VHFs are present in geographically
limited areas and risk of infection is restricted to those areas.
(18) Systemic Mycosis - CORRECT ANSWER-fungal infections capable of
affecting all internal organs. Persons with a competent immune system may be
asymptomatic or show only minor symptoms. Immune-compromised patients
(including persons with HIV, cancer, or neutropenia, organ transplant recipients,
patients recovering from pancreatitis or splenectomy, those with diabetes, the
very old, and the very young) are at high risk for infection. Treatment may include
