Communicable and
Chronic Diseases
Chapter 12
Objectives Day 1
 The students will be able to recognize
behaviors that help reduce the risk of
infection from communicable diseases
 Be able to describe how the immune
system works
Communicable Diseases
 Communicable disease (infectious
disease):
 An illness caused by pathogens that can be
spread from one living thing to another.
 Pathogen:
 A germ that causes disease
 Ex. People develop “the flu” when
pathogens that cause influenza enter their
bodies.
Immune System
 Removes harmful organisms from the
blood and combats pathogens
 Immune system is composed of body
organs, tissues, cells, and chemicals
 The skin is the first line of defense
 Perspiration and oils on the skin kill
pathogens
 Tears contain chemicals that kill pathogens
and prevent them from entering eyes
 Mucous and hairs that line the inside of nose
trap and destroy pathogens
Our Immune System
Immune system
 Lymphocytes: White blood cells that help
the body fight pathogens.
 B Cell: White blood cell produced antibodies.
 Antibody: Special protein that helps fight
infection.
 Helper T cell: White blood cell that signals B
cells to produce antibodies.
 Macrophage: White blood cell that surrounds
and destroys pathogens.
Communicable Diseases
 Bacteria
 Single-celled microorganisms
 More than a thousand types of bacteria
 Types of diseases caused by bacteria
 Syphilis
 Gonorrhea
 Strep throat
 TB (Tuberculosis)
 Tetanus
 Lyme disease
Strep Throat
Communicable Diseases
 Rickettsia
 Pathogens that grow inside living cells and
resemble bacteria
 Protozoa
 Tiny, single-celled organisms that produce
toxins that cause disease
 Malaria
 African sleeping sickness
Communicable Diseases
 Viruses
 Is the smallest known pathogen
 Viruses spread rapidly

The Spread of Pathogens
 All of these diseases can be spread
through direct contact
 Shacking hands
 Kissing
 Sexual intercourse
 Receiving a transfusion
 Handling bodily fluids (Blood and Urine)

immunizations needed at certain ages
Infectious Respiratory
Diseases
 Five infectious respiratory diseases





Common Cold
Influenza
Pneumonia
Strep Throat
Tuberculosis (TB)
Common Cold
 Viral Infection
 Transmission
 Coughs, sneezes, people can inhale the virus
 Become infected by shaking hands with an infected person
and then touch a mucous membrane (rub eyes, nose,
mouth)
 Symptoms
 Runny nose, watery eyes, sneezing, sore throat, cough,
head ache, and can last 2-14 days
 Treatment
 Plenty of rest and fluids
 Over the count medicines
 Viral infection-Rhinovirus
Influenza
 Viral Infection
 Transmission
 From air through coughing and sneezing
 Enter body through mucous membranes (eyes, nose,
mouth)
 Spread Rapidly
 Symptoms
 Headaches, chills, sneezing, stuffy nose, sore throat, and
dry cough
 Treatment
 Rest and drink plenty of fluids
 Viral infection- Reye’s syndrome
Pneumonia
 Viral infection
 Transmission
 Direct contact with a contaminated person or
object, untreated respiratory disease
 Symptoms
 Shortness of breathe, difficulty breathing and
coughing, chest pain, weakness, fever, and chills
 Treatment
 Antibiotics
Strep Throat
 Viral Infection
 Transmission
 Coughing, sneezing, and close contact with an
infected person
 Symptoms
 Fever and sever sore throat
 Treatment
 Antibiotics, rest, and drink plenty of fluids
Tuberculosis
 Viral Infection
 Transmission
 Air, through coughing and sneezing of an
infected person
 Symptoms
 Extreme tiredness coughing, nights sweats, lose
of appetite, weight loss, low-grade fever, chills,
bloody sputum, shortness of breath, and chest
pain
 Treatment
 Antibiotics and supportive care
Severe Acute Respiratory
Syndrome (SARS)
 Viral Infection
 Transmission
 Air, enters the body through mucous membranes
 Symptoms
 Fever higher than 100.4 degrees F
 Cough, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing,
low oxygen in the blood, or X-ray findings of
pneumonia
 Treatment
 Supportive care and rest
Asthma
 Noncommunicable disease
 Symptoms
 Coughing, wheezing, and shortness of
breath
 Asthma attack
 An episode of coughing, wheezing,
shortness of breath and tightness in the
chest experienced by a person who has
asthma
Exercise Induced Asthma
(EIA)
 A condition in which a person has
difficulty breathing during or shortly after
strenuous physical activity.
 Some people only suffer an asthma
attack only with exercise
 Avoid asthma attacks by reducing
asthma triggers
 Recognize warning signs and take
medication if needed.
Immunizations For Adults
 Adults need to receive…
 Tetanus (Every ten years)
 College students living in dorms are advised
to be immunized for meningococcal disease
(Meningitis)
 Pregnant women should not receive MMR
and varicella vaccinations until after delivery
because could lead to birth defects
Immunization
Recommendations
All children should be immunized
against..





most people causes no response
 Airborne Allergens
 Animal dander, feathers, pollens, and mites
 Animal dander
 Flakes of dead skin from an animal
 Hay Fever
 A common term for seasonal respiratory allergies
that typically occur in the spring and fall
Allergy Tests

 Chest pain that results form narrowed coronary
arteries
 Nitroglycerin
 A drug that widens the coronary arteries, allowing
more oxygen to get to the cardiac muscle

ability is below normal capacity and fluid
accumulates in the lungs and other areas of the
body

narrowed or blocked
 Coronary artery
 A blood vessel that carries blood to the heart
muscles
 Plague
 Hardened deposits of fat and other materials in
the walls of arteries throughout the body
Cardiovascular Disease
 Arteriosclerosis
 Hardening and thickening of the arteries
 Atherosclerosis
 A disease in which fat deposits collect on
artery walls
Cardiovascular Diseases
 Heart Rhythm Abnormalities
 Arrhythmia
 Heart condition in which the heart may beat very
slowly or very fast for no obvious reason
 Pacemaker
 A device that is implanted in the heart to
stimulate normal heart contractions
 Heart Attack
 The death of cardiac muscle caused by a
lack of blood flow to the heart
Cardiovascular Diseases
 Rheumatic fever
 An autoimmune
action in the heart
that can cause fever,
weakness, and
damage to the valves
in the heart

damage that results
from rheumatic fever

blood vessel
Reducing Your Risk
 Maintain a healthy blood cholesterol level
 Cholesterol
 A fat-like substance made by the body and found in certain
foods
 Low density lipoproteins (LDLs)
 Substances in the blood that carry cholesterol to body cells
 High density lipoproteins (HDLs)
 Substances in the blood that carry cholesterol to the liver
for breakdown and excretion
 The higher the HDL level, the lower the risk of heart
disease
 Saturated Fat
 A type of fat from dairy products, solid vegetable fat, and
meat and poultry
Reducing Your Risk





Avoid tobacco products
Maintain healthful blood pressure
Maintain a healthful body weight
Participate in regular physical activity
Manage stress
Diabetes
 Type I diabetes
 The body produces little or no insulin
 Insulin is a hormone that regulates the blood
sugar level
 If the pancreas fails to produce enough insulin
enough insulin, a person develops diabetes
 Appears most often in children and young adults
 People with Type I need daily injections of insulin
to stay alive
Diabetes
 Type II diabetes
 The body produces insulin but cannot be used by
cells
 About 90-95% of people who have diabetes have
Type II
 Most frequently strike people 50-60 years old
 Symptoms include: Feeling tired, frequent urination,
unusual thirst, weight loss, blurred vision, frequent
infections , and slow healing of sores
 About 80% of people with Type II are over weight
Diabetes
 Gestational Diabetes
 Occurs in some females during pregnancy
 Insulin is produced, but the body does not
respond to it
 Usually treated with diet, but not with oral
medications because it could hurt the baby
 Usually goes away after the baby is born
