DRAW IT Show the locations of the following diseases: common cold, diphtheria, coccidioidomycosis, influenza, pneumonia, scarlet fever, tuberculosis, whooping cough
To determine:
The location of following diseases of common cold, diphtheria, coccidioidomycosis, influenza, pneumonia, scarlet fever, tuberculosis and whooping cough.
Concept introduction:
Respiratory system consists of two parts, lower and upper parts. Bacteria and virus affects both the parts but lower parts may affects highly than upper parts.
Explanation of Solution

Diseases of Respiratory system
Respiratory system causes diseases which are affected by both bacteria and virus. The upper part causes disease like common cold, diphtheria and whooping cough. Common cold is a viral infection of the upper respiratory system. It is caused by rhinovirus and coronavirus. Scarlet fever caused by streptococcal exotoxin, affects the skin by reddening of tongue and peeling of affected skin. Diphtheria caused by Corynebacterium diphtheria, causes sore throat and swelling of neck. Whooping cough is another disease caused by Bordetella pertussis, tracheal cytotoxin. It affects the cilia and damages the respiratory passages.
Pneumonia causes lower respiratory infection and leads to same symptoms as cold, cough, headache and fatigue and so forth. Pneumonia is the disease of the lower respiratory system. Influenza is characterized by fever, chills, muscular aches and headache. Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a gram positive, rod and an obligate aerobe that causes tuberculosis. It is also a lower respiratory infection.
Many virus can enter into our respiratory system although there is a constant inhibition of pathogens by cilia and mucous membrane. Mostly the upper part is affected but only the lower part is affected by virus infection.

- Show a diagram showing the process of Mycobacterium tuberculosis on a cellular levelarrow_forwardTJ Porter was a 15 year old high school student with a new summer job working with a gardening crew. His main job activity was spreading bark mulch in garden beds. Last August he rapidly developed severe shortness of breath, a persistent cough, and chest pains. On admittance to the hospital, radiological examination revealed large “cotton ball” densities in both of his lungs. Culture of his lung aspirate grew Aspergillus fumigatus. TJ was given IV amphotericin B and assisted mechanical ventilation via a tracheotomy. He slowly improved in the hospital, but also contracted 2 other respiratory infections with Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Strep. faecalis. These infections were treated with appropriate antibiotics.TJ had 4 sisters and 2 brothers. One of his brothers had a perirectal abscess in infancy but otherwise has been well.TJ’s white blood cell count was in the normal range, with ~65% neutrophils, 30% lymphocytes, and ~5% monocytes.
