The Battle Of Midway Essay, Research Paper


I am doing a report on the disease Diphtheria. The


definition of the disease is a bacterial disease that


affects the throat and can cause serious or fatal


complications. It is a serious disease caused by the


bacterium. There is a lot of history on this disease. In


the late 1800?s diphtheria came across western Europe and


the United States, it killed thousands of children. The


diphtheria characterized by infection is more contagious


than the disease characterized by respiratory infection.


Diphtheria is a disease of the respiratory system. It


causes membranes to grow on the inner throat. Sometimes the


membranes release a toxin into the bloodstream(which is


poisonous). The membranes clog the air passages then you


can hardly breath, most of the time you will die. You


should have complete bedrest for two to three weeks. Then a


man named Bela Schick came over the Schick test. He


discovered that the disease was only to be found in humans.


It may sometimes enter and effect the skin. This disease is


now rare in most of the world. That is most of the history


on diphtheria.


There are many symptoms that can aware you that you


have the disease. You should notice the first symptoms


during the first through seventh days after you get it.


Some of the first symptoms you sill get are fatigue, a


low-grade fever, and a sore throat. Next you will also


notice swelling to the neck. Some other symptoms are


painful swallowing, nausea and vomiting, chills, bloody,


watery drainage from nose, scabbing of nostrils and upper


lip, bluish coloration of skin, fever, headache, breathing


difficulty, croup-like cough, hoarseness, stridor, drooling,


and rapid breathing. Those are most of the symptoms of


Diphtheria.


There are many treatments for Diphtheria. As soon as


the disease is suspected diphtheria antitoxin is given as an


intramuscular injection. The Disease is treated with


antibiotics. As an infant you should safely be give the DPT


vaccine. This vaccine is a three in one vaccine that


protects against diphtheria, pertussis, and tetanus. The


vaccine has some side effects as slight fever, crankiness,


and tenderness of skin. DPT is usually given in the leg or


the arm. You can also be give the DT vaccine. The DT


vaccine is a two in one vaccine. This vaccine should be


given to children less than seven years old. This is given


in the arm or the thigh. This protects against diphtheria


and tetanus. There is one last vaccine. It is the Td


vaccine. The Td vaccine is also a two in one vaccine that


protects against tetanus and diphtheria. This should be


give to adults only. After the regular series of


injections, a booster of Td vaccine should be taken at the

<
br />

age of fourteen to sixteen and every ten years after that.


This is a different dose than the DT vaccine. This one is


usually given in the arm. The vaccination is one of the


recommended childhood immunizations and should begin during


infancy. A lot of times it is required before the children


start school. There is a minimum of three injections, but


there can be five taken.


There is a benefit of taking the vaccine. The benefit


is that 85% of the people who received three injections of


the vaccine will be protected from the disease for ten


years.


There are also some risks involved with the vaccines.


DPT often causes mild side effects suck as slight fever,


mild crankiness, and tenderness of the injection site for a


few days. They happen because of the pertussis component of


the vaccine. DTP can cause some risks in one out of every


one thousand seven hundred and fifty people. These effects


are convulsions, febrile seizure, and shock or collapse. In


some cases brain damage has also been known to happened.


This is very rare though. If you have has seizures before


this time then you are most likely to have seizures. There


is also death which is a very rare possibility too.


There are also some contradictions you might run into


about the vaccinations also. If your child is sick with


something more serious than a mild cold, the vaccine may be


put off until the child is feeling better. If your child


has seizures or brain damage the vaccine will also be put


off until tests show that they are not getting worse. After


your child has had the vaccine you should contact a


physician if the following happened: seizures within three


to seven days after injection, any serious brain problem


within seven days after injection, worsening of seizures or


other brain problem, mouth, throat, or face swelling within


a few hours after injection, difficulty breathing within a


few hours after injection, temperature of one hundred and


five degrees Fahrenheit or higher within two days after


injection, shock or collapse within two days after


injection, and persistent, uncontrolled crying that lasts


for more than three hours at a time within two days after


injection. For one or two days after the injection it is


normal for the child to experience fever, soreness at the


injection site, swelling at the injection site, and redness


at the injection site. Adults who just recently get the


shot can has swelling at the injection site for up to three


days.


You can get an examination from a physician and it may


show that there are characteristics of gray membranes in the


throat, enlarged lymph glands, and swelling of the neck or


larynx. The test includes gram stain of membrane, throat


culture, and ECG.
