Study Notes

Infection Control Overview

AIDS: A serious disease caused by HIV that breaks down the immune system.
Antiseptics: Chemical agents for skin use, regulated by the FDA.
Asymptomatic: Refers to individuals showing no signs of infection.

Microorganisms and Infections

Bacteria: Microscopic organisms with both harmful and beneficial types.
Bacterial Spores: Protective coatings allowing bacteria to survive harsh conditions.
Biofilms: Colonies of microorganisms adhering to surfaces, including human skin.
Bloodborne Pathogens: Infectious agents found in blood, e.g., hepatitis, HIV.
Fungi: Microorganisms, like molds and yeasts, some of which can cause diseases.
Parasites: Organisms living on or in a host, causing parasitic diseases.

Infection Control Techniques

Cleaning: Mechanical removal of dirt and germs using soap and water.
Disinfection: Chemical processes that eliminate harmful organisms from surfaces.
Sterilization: Complete destruction of all microbial life, including spores.
Sanitation: Reducing disease-causing germs to safe levels on cleaned surfaces.

Types of Diseases and Infections

Contagious Diseases: Diseases spread from person to person, also known as communicable diseases.
Local Infection: Restricted infections appearing as pus-containing lesions.
Systemic Infection: Infections that affect the entire body, not confined to one area.
Occupational Diseases: Illnesses resulting from workplace exposure.

Transmission Methods

Direct Transmission: Spread of pathogens through physical contact.
Indirect Transmission: Spread via contaminated objects or surfaces.

Safety and Regulations

Standard Precautions: Guidelines assuming all human blood and fluids are potentially infectious.
OSHA: Regulatory body overseeing employee exposure to hazardous materials.
EPA: Agency that registers disinfectants for public use.
SDS: Document detailing potential chemical hazards in a standardized format.

Additional Concepts

Efficacy: The effectiveness of a product in achieving its intended purpose.
Inflammation: Body's response to injury/infection, marked by redness, heat, and swelling.
Virucidal: Capability of destroying viruses; relevant in disinfectant effectiveness.
Tuberculocidal Disinfectants: Agents proven to kill the bacteria causing tuberculosis.

Specific Infections

Hepatitis: Bloodborne virus affecting liver health.
Herpes Simplex Virus: Causes skin inflammation with clustered vesicles.
Pediculosis Capitis: Head lice infestation.
Scabies: Contagious condition caused by mites burrowing under the skin.
Ringworm: Fungal skin infection creating circular lesions.

Understanding these key terms and concepts is essential for effective infection control and maintaining a safe environment in beauty and health settings.
