Overview

Antibiotic Resistance

MeaslesChikungunya

Lyme Disease

Avian Influenza

Yellow Fever

Dengue Fever

Slide3

What is the CDC?

CDC stands for

"Center of Disease Control"

Nation's health protection agency, working to protect America from health and safety hazards, both foreign and domestic. CDC increases the health security of our nationFounded July 1, 1946 Headquartered in Atlanta, GeorgiaNB

Slide4

Role in our Lives

Work to prevent the outbreak of diseases 24/7

Rapid detection saves lives

US is safer from diseases because they are stopped before they reach US Borders

They promote healthy and safe behaviors in communitiesCDC's Obesity efforts focus on strategies to make healthy eating and active living accessible and affordable for everyoneTravelers Health Allows someone planning to travel to find the vaccines that they should receive and the main diseases in that areaNB

Slide5

Antibiotic Resistance

Antibiotic resistance

occurs when bacteria evolve in a way that

reduces the effectiveness

of drugs and chemicals designed to cure and treat infectionsWhat Causes this?Overuse and misuse of antibioticsHow do bacteria become resistant?Some bacteria can "Override" an antibiotic by changing it in a way that makes it harmless. Other bacteria can change their outer structure so the antibiotic has no way to attach to the bacteria it is designed to kill.NB

Slide6

What can you do to prevent antibiotic resistance?

Tell your healthcare professional that you are concerned about antibiotic resistance

Never

skip

doses or stop taking a medication early even Never save an antibiotic for the next time you get sickNever take antibiotics prescribed for someone elseMake sure to get vaccines that could require the use of antibiotics if someone doesn’t get the vaccineNever pressure your healthcare professional into prescribing you an antibiotic NB

Slide7

Measles

Produced from a

virus

called a paramyxovirus

Spread when people cough sneeze specifically the mist Takes 7-18 days before person starts being sick, very contagiousHJ

Slide8

Measles

Beginning symptoms- fever, runny nose and eyes, coughing

Rash on mouth- had white dots called

Koplik's

spotsAfter spots comes measle's rash that spreads on skin After rash: Starts as red patches and sometimes later has bumps, Rash comes with high fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, inflamed lymph nodes, harsh coughPrevention- vaccineOutbreaks- United States in 2008, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015146, 000 deaths per year, 3-4 million cases per yearHJ

Slide9

Chikungunya

Arbovirus

- single stranded RNA

Transferred by

mosquitos, after bite, disease starts 4-8 days laterAedes get when feed on people who are infectedSymptoms- fever, joint pain, headache, muscle pains, inflamed joints, rashesPassed easiest early during diseaseHJ

Slide10

Chikungunya

Outbreaks-

Africa, Asia, Europe, America's

Prevention-

avoid mosquito bitesSince 2013- 1.7 million casesHJ

Slide11

Bucks County Lyme Disease

Lyme Disease is spread by

ticks

Bacteria

will spread, causing an infection.Should be removed right away, after 36 hours the disease will spread.In 2014 Bucks County had 7,400 cases of Lyme DiseasePeople who are bitten experience symptoms like the flu (fatigue, fever, joint pain).SH

Slide12

Location and Prevention

Deer Ticks

spread the disease in the Northeast area

Western Black-legged Ticks spread in the NorthwestTicks reside in woodland areaTick population has increased from 464 to 1,121over the course of 10 years.SH

Slide13

Avian Influenza

(Bird Flu)

Spread by

airborne droplets from person to person.Can be deadly, but only

60% of infected people.Most common in Egypt and some parts of Asia, has spread to Washington stateSymptoms are similar to a very bad flu but can turn into a respiratory disease. SH

Slide14

Prevention and Statistics

Stay away from

domesticated

birds.Keep things clean (in the kitchen) to prevent cross contamination from raw poultry.

Don’t consume raw or under cooked foods (eggs, meats, etc.)There are medications to cureSH

Slide15

Yellow Fever – Description and Statistics

viral disease of typically

short

durationIt is transmitted to people by the bite of an infected mosquitoMild symptoms such as fever, chills, severe headache, back pain, general body aches, nausea, and vomiting, fatigue, and weaknessMore severe symptoms include organ failure and even death200,000 cases of disease and 30,000 deaths a year occurJW

Slide16

Yellow Fever – Location and Prevention

Located in tropical and subtropical areas in

South America

and

AfricaOutbreak occurred in Brazil in the states of Minas Gerais, Espirito Santo, São Paulo, and Rio de JaneiroIf the disease if fought off, you become immune to getting it againNo known cure, but preventions include using insect repellent, wearing protective clothing, and getting vaccinatedJW

Slide17

Dengue Fever – Description and Statistics

mosquito

-borne tropical disease caused by the dengue virusSome symptoms include: high fever, headache, vomiting, muscle and joint pains, and a characteristic skin rash Develops into the life-threatening dengue hemorrhagic feverEach year, between 50 and 528 million people are infected and approximately 10,000 to 20,000 dieJW

Slide18

Dengue Fever – Location and Prevention

2016 outbreak in

Thailand

Estimated

200,000 infections last yearNo vaccine for this diseaseBest way to prevent Dengue Fever is to prevent bites by infected mosquitoes, using insect repellant or long clothesJW

Slide19

What is antibiotic resistance?

A: When an antibiotic is resistant to bacteria

B: The process when an antibiotic kills the bacteria

C: When bacteria becomes resistant to an antibioticD: When antibiotics become more effective and can kill more bacteriaNB

Slide20

What is one thing you can do to prevent antibiotic resistance

A: Never skip a dose of an antibiotic and never stop early
