1) TONSILLITIS Tonsillitis means the inflammation of the tonsil, due to the infection with a bacterium or virus (usually). Tonsil is the tissue found in the back of the throat on each side. The symptoms of this disease are sore throat, swollen red tonsils, difficulty in swallowing, fever (sometimes), enlarged lymph nodes, headache, etc. If these symptoms are observed, the doctors will start a general examination and he should advice to do a throat swab culture in microbiology laboratory. Sometimes, blood test also recommended. The most common bacterium causing this disease is Streptococus pyogenes. It is more frequent at the younger age (children below 2 years and school going children) and due to the exposure of the microorganisms. Complications of the disease are struggle in breathing, interrupted breathing during sleep etc. preventions are proper washing of the hands, avoid or minimise the sharing food items and water bottles, replacement of tooth brush, proper medication and sufficient rest during disease time.
2) THYMUS GLAND Thymus gland is the situated behind sternum and between lungs and it is active until puberty. It produces a hormone called thymosin, functioning by stimulating the development of T-cells. The gland start to shrink after puberty so that, we can say it has important role in childhood period and it is the largest organ in children. During the active time, all WBC cells pass through thymus and transformed into T cells.
3) AIDS AIDS (acquired immuno deficiency syndrome) is due to the infection of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) virus. This disease is characterized by the irreversible, chronic and worldwide occurrence. The transmission of the virus through the sexual contact with the diseased person, from infected mother to child through placenta and receiving blood from infected patient etc. virus damaging our immune system by interfere the ability of our body to fight against pathogens. There is no permanent cure for this disease and researchers around the world are conducting experiments to find drugs which could cure effectively. We can hope that it should happen this century itself. The symptoms of HIV virus vary according to the phase of infection. Fever, headache, muscle and joint pain etc. are the symptoms of primary infection. These infections are always misunderstood with other diseases therefore; diagnosis at this stage is usually not happened. Chronic HIV (latent infection) is last stage of infection and during this time diagnosis usually occurs. This may be happen around years of infection. Death is generally happens due to infections or diseases that happens because of weakened immune system.
4) ROTAVIRUS Rotavirus is the ds DNA virus in the family of Reoviridae and has characteristic ‘rota’ or wheel shape and hence the name. The virus causes the inflammation of the intestine and stomach. In infants, causes diarrhoea, fever, vomiting, dehydration and abdominal pain. Unfortunately, there is no medicine to cure this disease but have vaccine against this. The infection can be preventing by proper washing of the hands, keeping a distance from diseased patients, etc. Diagnosis is done by analysing the sample of stool. Drink a lot of water and ORS solution and taking rest will results faster recovery.
5) TUBERCULOSIS TB is caused due to the infection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria and it is the potential threat to the world especially in developing countries. The virus infected from soil and spreds through droplets from patient during coughing and sneezing. Eradication of the virus is not easy because it develops antibiotic resistance nowadays. Common symptoms of this disease are coughing lasts for three weeks or more, chest pain, weight loss, fever etc. the infection primarily affecting the lungs and it can also affects on the other parts of the organs such as kidenys, spine or brain. The infection can be prevent by keeping distance from patients, taking proper medication etc. vaccine (BCG) can prevent the disease very effectively.
