Study Notes
Key Facts about Vaccine-Preventable Diseases
- Pertussis, also known as whooping cough, is caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis and is transmitted through respiratory droplets.
- Pertussis is characterized by swollen cervical lymph nodes, soft tissue edema, and mucosal edema. It has three stages: catarrhal, paroxysmal, and convalescent.
- Complications of pertussis include pneumonia, seizures, apnea/bradycardia, and otitis media.
- Tetanus is caused by the bacterium Clostridium tetani and is transmitted through direct contamination of wounds or umbilical cords in newborns.
- Symptoms of tetanus include lockjaw (spasm of the jaw muscles), painful spasms in other muscles, generalized seizure-like activity, and autonomic instability.
- Hepatitis B is caused by the Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and is transmitted through sexual contact, sharing needles, or exposure to infected blood. It can lead to chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, liver failure, and liver cancer.
- Perinatal transmission of Hepatitis B can occur from an HBsAg-positive mother to her newborn. Infants born to HBsAg-positive mothers should receive HBIG and HB vaccine within 12 hours after birth.
- Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) infections can cause pneumonia, meningitis with subdural empyema, acute epiglottitis, cellulitis, and periorbital cellulitis.
- Poliovirus is transmitted through the fecal-oral route and mainly affects children. It can cause asymptomatic infection or lead to polio with symptoms such as fever, rash, and paralysis.
- Measles is highly contagious and is characterized by fever, rash, cough, conjunctivitis, and Koplik spots. Complications of measles include otitis media, pneumonia, encephalitis, and subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE).
- Mumps is caused by the mumps virus and is transmitted through respiratory droplets, direct contact, or contaminated fomites. It causes painful swelling of the parotid glands and can lead to complications such as epididymo-orchitis and meningitis.
- Rubella, also known as German measles, is caused by the rubella virus and is transmitted through respiratory droplets. It can cause a mild illness with lymphadenopathy, rash, and conjunctivitis, but can also lead to congenital rubella syndrome if contracted during pregnancy.
- Pneumococcal infection, caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, can lead to noninvasive diseases such as otitis media, sinusitis, and pneumonia, as well as invasive diseases like meningitis, septicemia, and osteomyelitis/septic arthritis.
