Pathophysiology of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever

Dengue hemorrhagic fever

Dengue hemorrhagic fever is a severe, potentially deadly infection spread by certain species of mosquitoes (Aedes aegypti).

Pathophysiology of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever

Dengue viruses enter the body through the bite of aedes aegypti mosquito and then react with the antibody and virus-antibody complexes formed, the circulation will activate the complement system.

Dengue viruses enter the body through mosquito bites and infection first causes dengue fever. Body reaction is a reaction commonly seen in infection by the virus. A very different reaction would appear, if someone gets recurrent infections with different dengue virus type. And Dengue hemorrhagic fever can occur when a person after infection the first time, get recurrent infections other dengue virus. Re-infection will cause an anamnestic antibody response, causing the concentration of antigen-antibody complex is high.

Pathophysiology of Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)

Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) Congestive heart failure, or heart failure, is a condition in which the heart is unable to adequately pump blood throughout the body and/or unable to prevent blood from "backing up" into the lungs. In most cases, heart failure is a process that occurs over time, when an underlying condition damages the heart or makes it work too hard, weakening the organ. Heart failure is characterized by shortness of breath (dyspnea) and abnormal fluid retention, which usually results in swelling (edema) in the feet and legs. Pathophysiology of Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) Heart failure occurs, the body undergoes some adaptation, both in heart and systemically. If the stroke volume of both ventricles is reduced, because of pressure contractility, or afterload are greatly increased, the volume and pressure at the end of diastolic heart in two space will increase. This will increase the end diastolic myocardial fiber length, causing systolic time beco...

Pathophysiology of Appendicitis

Appendicitis The appendix is a small, tube-like organ attached to the first part of the large intestine, also called the colon. It is located in the lower right area of the abdomen. It has no known function. A blockage inside of the appendix causes appendicitis. The blockage leads to increased pressure, problems with blood flow and inflammation. If the blockage is not treated, the appendix can break open and leak infection into the body. Pathophysiology of Appendicitis The main cause of appendicitis is obstuksi blockage which can be caused by hyperplasia of the follicles lympoid is the most common cause of fekalit in appendix lumen. The presence of foreign objects such as: worms, stricture due to fibrosis, as a result of previous inflammation. For another example: malignancy (carcinoid carcinoma). Appendix obstruction that causes mucus produced by mucous unstoppable, more and more mucus is unstoppable and suppress edema appendix wall and stimulate the tunica serosa and vis...

Pathophysiology of Typhoid Fever

Typhoid fever , also known as Typhoid , is a common worldwide illness, transmitted by the ingestion of food or water contaminated with the feces of an infected person, which contain the bacterium Salmonella enterica enterica, serovar Typhi. The bacteria then perforate through the intestinal wall and are phagocytosed by macrophages. The organism is a Gram-negative short bacillus that is motile due to its peritrichous flagella. The bacterium grows best at 37°C / 98.6°F – human body temperature. This fever received various names, such as gastric fever, abdominal typhus, infantile remittant fever, slow fever, nervous fever, pythogenic fever, etc. The name of "typhoid" was given by Louis in 1829, as a derivative from typhus . Pathophysiology of Typhoid Fever Transmission of Salmonella typhi can be transmitted through various ways, which is known with 5 M of the Food Fingers, Fomitus (vomiting), Fly, and through Faeces. Faeces and vomiting in patients with typhoid salmonel...
