In any event, whether society may have cancer, or merely a virus infection, the `` disease '', we shall find, is political, economical, social, and even medical.

This area is highly susceptible to infection.

It usually occurs following a viral infection but may appear following vaccination ( although there is no causal evidence linking vaccination to ADEM ), bacterial or parasitic infection, or even appear spontaneously.

The most common form, osteoarthritis ( degenerative joint disease ), is a result of trauma to the joint, infection of the joint, or age.

Household use of antibacterials in soaps and other products, although not clearly contributing to resistance, is also discouraged ( as not being effective at infection control ).< ref >

** Waterhouse – Friderichsen syndrome is adrenal gland failure due to bleeding into the adrenal glands, caused by severe bacterial infection.

The progression of the human immunodeficiency virus infection into AIDS is primarily due to the depletion of CD4 + T-helper lymphocytes in a manner that is too rapid for the body's bone marrow to replenish the cells, leading to a compromised immune system.

The executioner protein is instead activated by the internal stimuli caused by viral infection not a caspase cascade.

Apoptosis in some viruses is activated by extracellular stimuli, however, studies have demonstrated that the OROV infection causes apoptosis to be activated through intracellular stimuli and involves the mitochondria.

Such a trinity of freedom of thought is the only guarantee against an infection of people by mass myths, which, in the hands of treacherous hypocrites and demagogues, can be transformed into bloody dictatorship.

* there remains less chance of accidental damage and infection, since the previously useless and exposed organ is sealed with a flap of protective skin

In cattle, goats and wild ruminants infection is usually asymptomatic despite high virus levels in blood.

The outcome is abortion or stillbirth if fetal infection occurs early in gestation and survival if infection occurs late.

However infection at an intermediate stage, before the fetal immune system is fully developed, may result in a chronic infection that lingers until the first months after birth of the lamb.

As Th1 response is required for an effective immune response to tuberculous infection, concurrent infection with various parasites produces a simultaneous Th2 response, which blunts the effect of BCG.

Furthermore, of critical importance to health care professionals, the preliminary results indicated that patients in the coppered ICU rooms had a 40. 4 % lower risk of contracting a hospital acquired infection versus patients in non-coppered ICU rooms.

Resistance to infection ( immunity ) may be acquired following a disease, by asymptomatic carriage of the pathogen, by harboring an organism with a similar structure ( crossreacting ), or by vaccination.

An infection can be acquired via a single bite.

The ability to develop an effective vaccine has been limited by the lack of acquired immunity to infection to model a vaccine after and the current lack of commitment in effort and resources.

Due to immunity acquired in childhood, most adults are not susceptible to rotavirus ; gastroenteritis in adults usually has a cause other than rotavirus, but asymptomatic infections in adults may maintain the transmission of infection in the community.

One option includes treatment for a disease or disorder that may be contributing to the balance problem, such as ear infection, stroke, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, Parkinson ’ s, neuromuscular conditions, acquired brain injury, cerebellar dysfunctions and / or ataxia.

* Type 3 — acquired due to chronic infection or prolonged intubation or inflammatory conditions like relapsing polychondritis

The age at which this bacterium is acquired seems to influence the possible pathologic outcome of the infection: people infected with it at an early age are likely to develop more intense inflammation that may be followed by atrophic gastritis with a higher subsequent risk of gastric ulcer, gastric cancer or both.

Towards the end of an HIV infection the number of functional CD4 < sup >+</ sup > T cells falls, which leads to the symptomatic stage of infection known as the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome ( AIDS ).

Continuous invasive cardiac monitoring in the Intensive Care Unit has been all but phased out in an age of hospital acquired infection.

The innate system is present from birth and protects an individual from pathogens regardless of experiences, whereas adaptive immunity arises only after an infection or immunization and hence is " acquired " during life.

It, like costochondritis, was at one time thought to be associated with, or caused by, a viral infection acquired during surgery.

The child acquired the infection due to eczema, which is a known risk factor for vaccinia infection.

On 1 January 2007, Winner acquired the bacterial infection, Vibrio vulnificus from an oyster meal in Barbados.

After an infection, the body produces many more of these virus-specific immune receptors, which prevent re-infection by this particular strain of the virus and produce acquired immunity.

The disease is common in farmers and those exposed to soil and animals, suggesting that the infection is acquired from these sources.

Viridans Alpha-hemolytic streptococci, that are present in the mouth are the most frequently isolated micro-organisms when the infection is acquired in a community setting.

* Patients with recurrent infections, those with structural abnormalities of the urinary tract, those who have had urethral instrumentation, and those whose infections were acquired in the hospital have an increased frequency of infection caused by Proteus and other organisms ( e. g., Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Pseudomonas, enterococci, staphylococci )
