Treatment is supportive, following the guidelines for septic shock.2 Antimalarials and broad-spectrum antibiotics should be given until the diagnosis of viral HF is confirmed. There are presently no approved vaccines. Contact tracing should be undertaken to identify all persons with direct unprotected ...
Diagnosis Diagnosis should be suspected in endemic areas whenever a high fever goes on for two to seven days, especially if accompanied by a bleeding tendency. Symptoms of shock should suggest the progression of the disease to DSS. The arbovirus causing dengue fever is one of the few types of...
We wished to characterize the relationship of advanced age to clinical outcomes and to transcriptomic responses after severe blunt traumatic injury with hemorrhagic shock. We performed epidemiological, cytokine, and transcriptomic analyses on a prospecti
Based upon your knowledge of cell wall structure, explain how the microbes causing meningitis and typhoid fever can induce fever and systemic shock in an infected patient.Discuss the causative agent of Yellow fever.1. Describe 2 methods of viral infection. 2. How can a virus be helpful...
In developed countries, patients with septic shock are admitted to intensive care units to receive high- level primary medical and nursing care by a multidisciplin- ary healthcare worker (HCW) team. These patients have access to innovative medical drugs and to state-of-the-art therapeutics (...
Some types of hemorrhagic fever are tick borne, others mosquito borne, and some airborne; others are zoonoses; clinical manifestations are high fever, scattered petechiae, bleeding in gastrointestinal tract and other organs, hypotension, and shock; kidney damage may be severe, especially in Korean ...
Fatalities may occur due to hypovolemic shock. [12] In relation to the age of the patient, it is estimated that infection in the adult age group (≥ 15 years) is a secondary infection because they have already been infected with the primary infection during childhood. Clinical symptoms of ...
