The document discusses infection, disease, epidemiology, pathophysiology, signs and symptoms, diagnostic tests, and treatment. It notes that infection is caused by the invasion and multiplication of microorganisms not normally present in the body. It reports that in the US there are over 2 million hospital-acquired infections annually, costing over $1 billion in the UK. The pathophysiology of infection involves the activation of immune cells and inflammatory responses. Diagnostic tests include blood tests, imaging scans, and wound cultures. Treatment involves wound cleaning, antibiotics, NSAIDs, lifestyle changes, and medicines or surgery.
2. INFECTION
The invasion and multiplication of microorganism
such as bacteria, virus and parasites that are not
normally present within the body.
3. EPIDEMIOLOGY
In united state 2 millions nosocomial infection in
hospitalized patient.
3-21 % in 2002 survey
Annually 1 billion pounds cost in United kingdom
10% patient
4. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
the normal host cell response to infection is a
complex process that localizes and controls
bacterial invasions, and initiating the repair of any
injured tissues.
Involves
Activation of circulating and fixed phagocyte cells,
The generation of pro inflammatory and
inflammatory mediators.
Sepsis results when the response to infection
becomes generalized and involves normal tissues
from the site of injury or an infection.
5. SIGNS & SYMPTOMS
Fever
Warm
Painful swollen wound
Blood or pus coming from the wound
Dizziness
Fast heart beat
10. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Functional changes in the body that occurs in the

enzyme; something would not be spilt or altered in
some way then leads to symptoms.
