DISEASES, GERMS, STD’S COACH K HEALTH PINE HILL MIDDLE SCHOOL Diseases Disease- Any harmful change in the health of your body or mind. Microorganism- A living thing so small you cannot see it with the naked eye. Pathogen- A virus or another agent that causes a disease. Communicable Disease- Disease that can be passed from person to person. Chronic- Long lasting disease. Acute- Short term disease. Infectious Diseases Caused by pathogens that invade your body. Examples: Common cold, Influenza, Chickenpox, Hepatitis, Strep Throat, Tuberculosis Non Infectious Diseases Any disease not caused by a pathogen. Examples: Sickle Cell disease, Cystic Fibrosis, Muscular dystrophy, Diabetes, Allergies, Cerebral Palsy, Cancer Types of Diseases Causes Virus- Tiny disease causing particle that invades healthy cells to make more viruses. Not living. AIDS, SARS, West Nile, FLU/COLD Bacteria- Tiny single celled organism that have no nucleus. Spread through direct and indirect contact. Living, Found everywhere Most can be cured with antibiotics. Causes Protist/ParasiteSmall single celled organisms. More complex than bacteria. Water supply, Mosquitos Malaria, Giardia Fungi- Complex organisms that cannot make their own food. Over 100,000 species Athletes foot, Jock itch,Yeast infections STD’S, STI’S STD- Sexually Transmitted Disease STI- Sexually Transmitted Infection Can be spread from person to person through sexual contact. Sexual contact can be in the form of vaginal sex, anal sex, oral sex or mutual masturbation. Common STI’S Chlamydia- Bacteria, burning during urination, discharge, may show no symptoms. Genital Herpes- Virus, fever, painful. Itchy genital sores, burning during urination. Genital Warts- Virus, Warts in genital area, may cause cervical cancer Gonorrhea- Bacteria, Unusual discharge from penis or vagina, pain or burning during urination, may show no symptoms. Trichomoniasis- Protozoa, yellowish, foul smelling discharge, itching, may show no symptoms. Syphilis- Bacteria, moist, red sores, rash, flu like symptoms, brain damage HPV- Virus, may show no symptoms, warts on the genital area, possible abnormal Pap smear test, may cause cervical cancer. HIV and AIDS Usually spread from sexual contact, contaminated blood product, mother to baby or shared needles. HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus. If left untreated, HIV can lead to the disease AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). What it Does… HIV attacks the body’s immune system, specifically the CD4 cells (T cells), which help the immune system fight off infections. If left untreated, HIV reduces the number of CD4 cells (T cells) in the body, making the person more likely to get infections or infection-related cancers. Over time, HIV can destroy so many of these cells that the body can’t fight off infections and disease. What Happens Next…
