Question

Imagine that you work for a state health department. Your supervisor has asked that you review vaccines for an upcoming training session for public health professionals. You will present this information in a professional report. For this report, you will select a vaccine-preventable disease or biological agent and describe the characteristics of a homeostatic system in both health and in a diseased state. Your report should include the pathophysiological impact on the body system affected in disease, how the disease functions in homeostasis, as well as a physiological explanation as to how the vaccine works.

Assignment Directions

The report should be on topic, original, and have clear foundations in evidence-based approaches. Assignments should be at least 3 pages double spaced, not including title page and references.

Answer 1

vaccine:- it is a preparation that provides active acquired immunity for a particular disease . Vaccines are usually made up of killed microbs or weak microbs that can not cause that particular disease in our body but can built a memory in the form of antibiotics so that when a powerful bacteria will act in future these anti bodies can kill it very easily.

List of disease that can be prevented by vaccination :-

• Diphtheria
• Tetanus
• Pertussis
• Measles
• Mumps
• Rubella
• Hepatitis B
• Poliomylitis
• Hemophillus influenza
• Pneumococcal infection

Hepatitis B:-

Hepatitis is nothing but the inflammation of liver cell (hepatic cells ) caused by hepatitis virus A,B,C,D,E .

Hepatitis b is very serious condition that can be prevented by vaccination.

causes:-the main cause of this disease is a virus hepatitis B virus that can spread through

• Blood transfusion
• Unprotected sex
• Needle stick injury in health personal
• Touching body fluids of affected personal
• Open wound etc.

Pathophysiology :-

1. Bacteria enters to blood
2. reaches to liver Cell
3. enters to the liver cell
4. replicate.
5. Translate
6. Core around the RNA
7. Sense RNA and copy DNA
8. Virus partially double standard leave the cell
9. Symptoms like jaundice will appear
10. AST and ALT elevated
11. Viral serology will confirm the cause of hepatitis

how hepatitis vaccine works :-

this vaccine is mainly given to all the children and infants 3doses at the interval of 0 ,1,6months.

This vaccine is made up of a weak or killed bacteria that will go to the body and antibodies will be formed by that and these antibiodies will protect that person in future from getting hepatitis infection because these antibodies will kill the bacterias before starting of its replication.
