Mass Smallpox Immunisation

Strains of smallpox should be eliminated and here is why. The resurgence of infectious diseases has been a huge problem in the 21st century. Imagine what the world would look like with the return of one of the globes most brutal disease; A disease like smallpox that could spread so easily through the air. Smallpox had both a high prevalence and incidence rate in the United States and many other parts of the world. Quantitative data and statistics display that about 30 percent of people with smallpox died from the disease and many others developed other problems.

It is even more unique to be diagnosed in an immune-competent young patient. While in the hospital patient was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis by meeting two criteria, elevated amylase and lipase and radiologic imaging. Although not clear, his presentation could have been a new onset acute pancreatitis in the setting of salmonella bacteremia or an exacerbation of previously resolving pancreatitis. Pancreatitis associated with salmonella enteritidis can result from hematogenous spread of bacteria either from the broken barrier of the intestinal mucosa, or given that literature suggests growth of bacteria in bile and gallstone cultures. Contiguously spread of infection within the biliary duct is also possible.

The polio virus can be incubated by a person without symptoms for years; that person can then accidentally infect an unvaccinated child or adult in whom the virus can mutate into its paralytic form and spread amongst unvaccinated people. Unvaccinated Amish missionaries who traveled to the Philippines brought measles back to Ohio in May 2014, resulting in 155 infected people as of June 5, 2014. There were 9,149 confirmed and 31,508 suspected cases of measles in the Philippines between Jan. 1 and May 20, 2013. In 2004, there were 37 cases of measles in the United States; in 2014, by May 30, there were 16 measles outbreaks in the United States resulting in at least 334 cases in 18 states. UNICEF reported that, globally, 453,000 children die from rotavirus, 476,000 die from pneumococcus (the virus that causes pneumonia, meningitis, and blood infections), 199,000 die from Hib (a virus that causes pneumonia and meningitis), 195,000 die from pertussis (whooping cough), 118,000 die from the measles, and 60,000 die from tetanus each year, all vaccine-preventable

`I’m here to talk about yellow fever. Yellow fever is a virus that is spread through mosquito bites. When you travel to places like South America or Africa you need to be careful about things you do and watch out for mosquitos. It usually takes about a week for the symptoms to occur. You can get a vaccine when you go to places like South America or Africa.

At the end of the experiment. the group exposed to mosquitos had yellow fever. After coming to the conclusion of mosquitoes being the cause of yellow fever, he had men start draining still pools of water on the Cuban island. Other men started working on a vaccine, which were created because of the experiments Walter Reed had advised and conducted (Dejauregui___). In 1796, Edward Jenner, an English doctor, noticed that dairymaids seemed to be protected against smallpox because of their contact with cowpox.

. It lasts a duration of couple weeks to a month and during this time makes the person significantly ill. The virus can only spread to humans and has no cure/treatment . However, treatment to improve comfort/condition is available. Prevention can be done through vaccination of avoiding of any contact with an infected individual.

It began with the long history of infectious disease in humans, with early uses of smallpox material to provide immunity to that disease. Evidence states that the Chinese employed smallpox inoculation as early as 1000 CE. It was practiced in Africa and Turkey, before it spread to Europe and the Americas. Edward Jenner’s innovations, begun with his successful 1796 use of cowpox pus to create immunity to smallpox. Over the period of next 200 years, his innovation was bettered, which resulted the total eradication of smallpox.

The first known case of the chicken pox was believed to be in the 1600s. According to CDC, in the United States, there has been more than 3.5 million cases, then in the early 1990s an average of 4 million people got chicken pox and about 100-150 people died each year. In 2012 there were 1-5 people who died in the United States from chicken pox. According to Elizabeth Miller, the year 1996 the number of deaths worldwide was 32 deaths per year. A couple of years after that, in 2000, there were 18

What is chickenpox? It’s a virus where itchy red blisters appear in your whole body, it usually comes when you’re young. It’s safer if you’re infected when you’re younger than old. What are the symptoms of chickenpox? The non-rash symptoms may last a few days and include: 1. fever 2. headache 3. loss of appetite One or two days after you experience these symptoms, the classic rash will begin to develop.

Approximately 7.0% of the world’s population is thalassaemia carrier and an estimated 300,000 babies are born each year with this disorder. More than 80% of these births occur in low or middle-income countries. These countries have limited resources where priority tends to be given to combat high rates of infant and child mortality from infectious diseases and malnutrition (Weatherall, 2001). As a result, thalassaemia receive little
