Pneumonia is a common illness that continues to cause significant morbidity and mortality in both adults and children. Bacteria such as Streptococcus pneumonia, Staphylococcus aureus and Haemophilus influenzae are generally considered as the main pathoge
Conjunctivitis or pink eye is a condition where inflammation of the outer membrane (conjunctiva) of the white of the eye (sclera) causes the eye to become red or pink. This may be caused by a viral infection, but it can also result from bacterial or fungal infection, as well as allergic...
Bacterial Pneumonia Bacterial pneumonia can follow five pathologic patterns: (1) parenchymal infection, inflammation, and consolidation of a lobe or a segment of a lobe (lobar pneumonia, the classical pattern of S. pneumoniae; (2) primary infection of the airways and surrounding interstitium (bro...
What is a contagious viral disease? What is a viral infection and what causes it? What is the disease process of pneumonia? How long does upper a respiratory viral infection last? What bacteria causes pneumonia? What is secondary bacterial pneumonia?
Secondary bacterial infections, especially pneumonia, are common complications and should be suspected in relapses of fever, chest pain, and cough.36 Other complications include meningococcal infections, exacerbations of asthma, chronic bronchitis, and congestive heart failure. In general, pregnant women,...
The disorders or illnesses caused by pathogens such as viruses, bacteria and fungus are called infectious diseases. Infectious diseases can be contagious and dangerous. Influenza, pneumonia, tuberculosis and hepatitis are few examples of...

Additionally, a persistently infected calf or cow may suddenly develop bacterial pneumonia without other predisposing factors, and this scenario should be considered as a possible reason for a single case of bacterial pneumonia in a herd. During acute BVDV infection, high fevers occur in affected ...
