A febrile illness with an unknown cause, often presenting with atypical symptoms. Common causes include hidden abscesses and typical diseases presenting in unusual ways.

A class of antibiotics that primarily target Gram-positive bacteria and have a special role in treating Streptococcus necrotizing fasciitis (necrotizing fasciitis).

A class of antibiotics effective against a wide range of bacteria, including Mycoplasma, Chlamydia, and Legionella. They inhibit protein synthesis.

Antibiotics that disrupt the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, leading to cell death. Examples include penicillin and cephalosporins.

Antibiotics that suppress bacterial growth but do not directly kill them. Examples include erythromycin and tetracycline.

A debilitating condition characterized by muscle spasms, rigidity, and lockjaw. Caused by the bacterium Clostridium tetani.

A common, soil-transmitted parasitic infection affecting the intestines. Infection occurs through the ingestion of Ascaris eggs, leading to larval migration and adult worm development in the gut.

A parasitic infection caused by the whipworm Trichuris trichiura. The parasite embeds its anterior part into the intestinal mucosa, feeding off the host's blood.

An infection caused by hookworms, soil-transmitted nematodes that reside in the small intestine. The larvae burrow into the skin and travel through the bloodstream.

An infection caused by the dwarf tapeworm Hymenolepis nana. Transmission occurs through ingestion of eggs, and the parasite can undergo internal autoinfection.

A protozoan disease caused by the parasite Entamoeba histolytica. Infection occurs through the ingestion of contaminated food or water containing cysts.

An infectious disease caused by bacteria of the genus Brucella. It is a zoonotic disease, commonly affecting animals like cattle and goats, and transmitted to humans.

A serious bacterial infection caused by Salmonella Typhi. It is spread through contaminated food and water, and can lead to complications like intestinal perforation and myocarditis.

A potentially fatal infectious disease caused by Plasmodium parasites. It is transmitted through the bite of infected mosquitos.

A complication of visceral leishmaniasis, characterized by skin lesions. These lesions are usually non-ulcerative, appearing as papules, nodules, or hypo-pigmented areas of skin discoloration.

A bacterial infection caused by Clostridium tetani. The bacteria produce a powerful neurotoxin that leads to muscle spasms, rigidity, and lockjaw.

The standard treatment for tetanic seizures in newborns, involving intravenous administration of the anticonvulsant drug lidocaine.

A disease caused by the Leishmania parasite, affecting the skin, mucous membranes, or internal organs.

A devastating parasitic disease caused by the Trypanosoma brucei parasite, affecting the central nervous system. It is spread through the bite of the tsetse fly.

A parasitic infection caused by Schistosoma worms. Transmission occurs through contact with contaminated water containing the parasite's larvae.

The most frequent sign seen in acute bacterial meningitis. It is characterized by neck stiffness, making it difficult to flex the neck forward.

A viral disease with a potential for serious complications, including encephalitis. It is spread through the bite of infected animals, primarily dogs, or contact with their saliva.

A highly infectious and potentially fatal viral disease, responsible for significant global morbidity and mortality. It causes influenza-like symptoms and can lead to severe complications like pneumonia and respiratory failure.

A parasitic infection caused by Onchocerca volvulus worms. It is spread through the bite of infected blackflies.

A group of diseases characterized by bleeding, often due to complications like disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). They are often caused by viruses and can progress rapidly.

A serious viral disease characterized by severe fever, headache, muscle pain, and often bleeding. There is no specific treatment for Ebola virus disease, but supportive care can increase survival rates.

A parasitic infection caused by various species of Leishmania parasites. The parasite infects macrophages, causing a wide range of symptoms.

Characterized by a complex interplay of factors, including population density, geographical location, climate, and patterns of human movement. It also plays a role in the transmission and spread of HIV/AIDS.

A system used to classify diseases, injuries, and causes of death. It is revised regularly to include new diseases and conditions. It provides a standardized framework for collecting and analyzing health data.

A system used to classify diseases that assigns a unique code to each disease, injury, or cause of death. It is essential for standardizing health data collection and analysis.

A zoonotic disease, primarily spread through the bite of infected animals, particularly dogs. However, transmission can also occur through contact with an infected animal's saliva or through contaminated materials.
