Study Notes
Lyme Disease
- Lyme disease can have three stages: early localized, early disseminated, and late disseminated.
- The early localized stage occurs days to weeks after a tick bite.
- Symptoms of the early localized stage include fatigue, chills, headache, and a bull's-eye rash.
- The early disseminated stage occurs days to months after a tick bite.
- Symptoms of the early disseminated stage include Bell's palsy, swelling in large joints, shooting pains, and heart palpitations.
- The late disseminated stage occurs months to years after a tick bite.
- Symptoms of the late disseminated stage include severe joint pain, and chronic neurological complaints such as memory loss.
- Lyme Disease can be treated with antibiotics such as Doxycycline, Amoxicillin, and Cefuroxime.
Malaria
- Malaria affects erythrocytes and hepatocytes.
- It has a high mortality rate.
- Malaria can reactivate after a period of dormancy.
- Symptoms of Malaria include fever, chills, and vomiting.
Lyme Disease Stages
- Lyme disease develops in stages, each with its characteristic symptoms
- The early localized stage occurs within days to weeks after a tick bite
- Early localized symptoms include fatigue, chills, headache, and the distinctive "bull's-eye" rash
- The early disseminated stage develops days to months after the bite
- Early disseminated symptoms include Bell's palsy, joint swelling, shooting pains, and heart palpitations
- The late disseminated stage occurs months to years after the bite
- Late disseminated symptoms include severe joint pain and chronic neurological complaints, such as memory loss
- Common treatments for Lyme disease include doxycycline, amoxicillin, and cefuroxime
Malaria Infection
- Malaria is a disease caused by a parasite that infects red blood cells (erythrocytes) and liver cells (hepatocytes)
- Malaria has a high mortality rate
- Malaria can reactivate after a dormant period
- Common symptoms of malaria include fever, chills, and vomiting
Lyme Disease
- Lyme disease is an illness caused by a tick-borne bacterium
- Symptoms of Lyme disease vary based on the stage of the illness
- Early Localized Lyme Disease occurs days to weeks after the bite of an infected tick
- The characteristic symptom of Early Localized Lyme Disease is a "bull's-eye rash" called Erythema Migrans
- Early Disseminated Lyme Disease occurs days to months after the bite
- Symptoms of Early Disseminated Lyme Disease can include facial paralysis (Bell's Palsy), joint pain, and heart palpitations
- Late Disseminated Lyme Disease occurs months to years after the bite
- Late Disseminated Lyme Disease is characterized by severe joint pain and chronic neurological problems
- Treatment for Lyme disease involves the use of antibiotics such as Doxycycline, Amoxicillin, and Cefuroxime
Malaria
- Malaria is a mosquito-borne parasitic disease
- Malaria infects red blood cells (erythrocytes) and liver cells (hepatocytes)
- Malaria can have a high mortality rate
- A dormant form of Malaria can reactivate years after initial infection
- Symptoms of Malaria include fever, chills, and vomiting
Lyme Disease
- Lyme disease is transmitted by a tick bite
- Symptoms progress through stages
- Early Localized stage has symptoms appearing days to weeks after the bite, and includes fatigue, chills, headache, and potentially a bull's-eye rash
- The Early Disseminated stage has symptoms appearing days to months after the bite and can include Bell's palsy, swollen joints, sharp pains, and heart palpitations
- The Late Disseminated stage has symptoms appearing months to years after the bite and can include severe joint pain and neurological complaints like memory loss
- Treatment options for Lyme disease include Doxycycline, Amoxicillin, and Cefuroxime
Malaria
- Malaria is a disease that affects erythrocytes and hepatocytes
- It has a high mortality rate
- The disease can reactivate after a period of dormancy
- Symptoms of malaria include fever, chills, and vomiting
