Does anyone know this question about communicable diseases?

---

You do not give aspirin with this communicable disease and it has 10 letters in it? And could you tell me why. I will give out max points. Thanks
Its chickenpox. Children who take aspirin during their course of illness with chickenpox can develop Reye Syndrome.  (+ info)

What are the differences between communicable and non communicable diseases?

---

communicable diseases are the ones which can be transmitted from one individual to another by water,air,food,insects etc. eg. cold,chicken pox it can be transmitted from one to another by cough sneeze of the infected person.

non communicable is just the opposite of communicable disease. it cant be transmitted eg heart attack,brain tumour,  (+ info)

Is there another way to say "communicable diseases"?

---

I'm writing a Parent Newsletter for my childcare course @ school, and i don't really want to say communicable disease, to alarm anyone. Is there a.... "softer" way to say this?
I'm not sure if these will help, but the only other names that refer to diseases are "contagious" or "infectious." Maybe "transferable" or "transmittable" are more obtuse?

Then again, maybe the kids can handle the obvious medical terms, especially for diseases they might catch?

I hope that helps!  (+ info)

How are disease vectors for non-lethal communicable diseases found?

---

There are loads of popular literature/fact/movies dealing with the communication of deadly diseases, such as an outbreak of Ebola. But how do the health authorities deal with plotting disease vectors for non-lethal outbreaks? For example, the States is experiencing its worst outbreak of mumps since regular vaccination was started. Can the health authorities trace this outbreak back to a patient-zero? How do they identify when/where (and in some cases how) the disease was spread? Or, in fact, if imminent great loss of life is not a concern, do they even bother? Is it more or less difficult than with lethal disease? Are there different considerations? (It seems to me that the transmission would possibly be even faster and/or more widespread, as with the usual winter flu . . .)
Diseases have different vectors because of each disease organism's life cycle. Some diseases are spread via aerosol droplets, for example. So when a bunch of people are in a plane and some of them inhale something from somebody, they disperse all over the place, the disease hits them at various times, and so figuring out where all these people got the disease is hard. And some diseases have a long development process, like 2-3 weeks, to complicate matters.

When a disease has a more specific vectoring profile, or when it breaks out in a discrete location, it makes it easier to figure out where it originated.

This is especially true if victims rapidly drop dead. So if you have a situation where people in Country A, Province B, Town C are dropping dead from a disease that you get from drinking water near animal X, it is easier to go figure.

So you can see how it may seem that health authorities are giving less attention to nonfatal diseases. But they really do try to find out how outbreaks are happening. Many outbreaks of diarrhea have been successfully traced to X company's tomatoes or strawberries or whatever bought by Food Chain Y and sent to City Z, for example. But that is because the disease is vectored by eating contaminated food and the sufferers are concentrated in those areas where that food was present.

Aerosol droplet diseases are notoriously hard to figure out, though, as mentioned. So figuring these things out is not really related to lethality - it is the type of vectoring involved that creates problems.  (+ info)

Does anyone know where I can find a tabular presentation of common communicable diseases (such as TB, measles)

---

Can you please post the site. The table should mention the organism/agent, diagnostic procedure, symptoms, treatment, etc of the disease. I've been having trouble finding a table. Thanks!
I wasn't able to find one particular table that contained all your criteria, but the Red Cross / Red Crescent health publication chapter linked below spans the info across multiple tables. (You'll need a .pdf reader like Adobe to view.)

Table 7-8 lists diseases, agents, and other contributing factors, table 7-9 lists symptoms, and treatment and diagnosis are spread across many tables.  (+ info)

What is the role of the Laboratory Procedures in the control of communicable diseases?

---

Case finding. it is very important since it can help us in early treatment and prevention of spread by treatment or isolation of the infected person.  (+ info)

What are the effects of untreated communicable diseases?

---

  (+ info)

Where can get a research on common communicable diseases ?

---

pubmed  (+ info)

identify 5 ways in which governments prevent the spread of communicable diseases?

---

More often, they facilitate it.  (+ info)
