The normal microflora of the nose occurs just inside the nostrils , and consists of Staphylococci, Streptococci , Neisseria, Haemophilus , etc .

lower resp

Healthy lungs are an inhospitable environment for bacteria with little nutrition and constant surveillance by the immune system

Upper resp infections

The invasion and multiplication of microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites that are not normally present within the body.

Lower resp infections

tonsillitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis, sinusitis, otitis media, certain influenza types, and the common cold.

bronchitis, Bronchiolitis and pneumonia. Influenza affects both the upper and lower respiratory tracts

Subcutaneous

Intramuscular

Longer needle is used

Usually injected into the muscle of the upper arm, thigh, or buttock.

Needle inserted into fatty tissue just below the skin

Intravenous

Intrathecal

A needle is inserted directly into a vein

Usually in the forearm

Needle is inserted between two vertebrae around the spinal cord

Anesthetics and analgesics are given this way (morphine)

what they are

Adverse Effects

Pain, swelling, or redness where the shot was given.

Mild fever.

Chills.

Feeling tired.

Headache.

Muscle and joint aches.

Pertussis

what it is

a highly contagious childhood bacterial disease that causes uncontrollable, violent coughing

caused by

Bordetella pertussis

it is

Gram-negative coccobacilli, strict aerobic

stages

Catarrhal stage – resembles common cold

Paroxysmal stage – classic whooping cough – mucus production and lymphocytosis

Convalescent stage – complication occur – pneumonia, convulsions, ear infections

DOC & Vaccine

DOC – Erythromycin /Azithromycin

Vaccine – DPT (P – acellular vaccine)

they are

bacteriostatic antibiotics that belong to moderate spectrum bacterial protein synthesis inhibitors.

examples

Erythromycin

Clarithromycin

Azithromycin

Mechanism of action

bind irreversibly to a site on the 50s subunit of bacterial ribosomes, at the peptidyl transferase center.

Effective against many of the same organisms as penicillin G

Effective against: Haemophilus influenzae, Helicobacter pylori, Moraxella catarrhalis, Chlamydia, Legionella.

Less active than erythromycin, against streptococci and staphylococci
Highly active against Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis, preferred therapy for urethritis caused by Chlamydia trachomatis

Adverse effects

Contraindications

GI tract disturbance

Cholestatic jaundice

Ototoxicity

QT prolongation

Patients with hepatic dysfunction

Patients with proarrhythmic conditions or concomitant use of proarrhythmic agents

symbiosis

any type of a close and long-term biological interaction between two different biological organisms, be it mutualistic, commensalistic, amensalistic,parasitic or competitive.

types

Mutualism: Where both organism benefit

Commensalism: one organism benefits while the other is neither helped nor harmed.

Amensalism: neither organism benefits, but one is harmed.

Parasitism: the parasitic organism benefits at the expense of the host.

Competition: neither organism benefits.

Culture

Cultural differences affect patients‘ attitudes about medical care and their ability to understand, manage, and cope with the course of an illness.

Religion

Religion and spirituality can impact decisions regarding diet, medicines based on animal products, modesty, and the preferred gender of their health providers.
