Solutions

Expert Solution

  • Sporadic diseases are seen occasionally, and without geographic concentration.
  • Syatemic infection usually affects the entire body, and not a single organ or body part.
  • A subclinical infection is usually asymptomatic, without any signs or symptoms.
  • A reservoir of infection usually harbours the infectious agents from which other individuals can be infected.
  • Transmission refers to the mode of spread of diseases
  • Vectors are agents that carry and transmit the infection into other healthy individuals.
  • Exogenous HAI involves a pathogen entering a patient's body from the external environment.
  • Endogenous HAI arise from an infectious agent already present in the body, but previously asymptomatic.
  • Epidemiology is a branch of medicine that deals with incidence, distribution and control of diseases.
  • ID50 is the estimated number of organisms or viral particles that can cause the infection in 50% of the normal adults exposed.
  • LD50 is a measured dose required to kill 50% of the population.
  • Antigenic variation refers to the mechanism by which an infectious agent alters its surface antigens to avoid host immune response.
