Summary Introduction

To describe:

The confirmation of presumptive diagnosis.

Introduction:

Diagnosis and laboratory testing is a procedure which includes the growth and culturing of bacteria on culture plates. Enzymatic assays are performed which are characteristic properties of specific strains of bacteria. Staining is done to confirm species of bacteria as different stains are used for identification. They stain the outer polysaccharides present in the membrane of bacteria.

please give me an answer that's not been posted yet. think about one of these organ system: cardiovascular, respiratory, lymphatics, integumentary. Within one of those systems, talk about the most troubling symptom a patient might have that would signal to you an infectious disease. So just one system and one symptom per person, I'm sure you will all come up with many different ones. For that symptom discuss why it is most troubling to you and how it might signify an infectious disease. You can also include examples of diseases that might fit with that symptom.
A sick child of 5 years old was taken to the children's infectious diseases department. The general condition is serious. Fever, loss of consciousness, rapid pulse. Examination revealed "meningeal syndrome". Given the clinical picture, the patient underwent a spinal tap. At a puncture the turbid cerebrospinal fluid flowed in a stream.1. What research methods should be used to clarify the diagnosis?2. Specify the stages of making a smear for bacterioscopic diagnosis.3. Describe the microscopic picture of a smear made of cerebrospinal fluid. Evaluate the reliability of bacterioscopic diagnosis of this disease.4. Name the rapid diagnostic reactions that can be used in this case.5. What nutrient media should be taken for sowing the test material?
Five human infections (or resulting diseases) are presented below. For each one, find three matching terms from the associated word bank (see below). Some terms can be used more than once. Each term should be used at least once. 1. Pneumocystis pneumonia in advanced AIDS patient 2. Plague originating in a bite from Yersinia pestis-infected rat flea 3. Undiagnosed Mycobacterium tuberculosis lung infection 4. Infection of meninges caused by Neisseria meningitidis 5. Digestive tract infection with the water pathogen Vibrio cholerae WORD BANK Acute Infection Chronic Infection Asymptomatic infection Secondary infection Zoonotic Infection Airborne Infection Bacteremia Viremia Contact transmission Vehicle transmission Vector transmission Opportunistic pathogen Breaching of the blood-brain barrier Non-living reservoir
