* Incidence – the rate of an occurrence of, for instance, an infection like measles or mumps or one of the types of diabetes.

* Mortality rate – the rate at which death occurs ( usually used as a statistical shorthand in regard to an infection or other condition ).

Unfortunately the required conditionals are usually not directly available to the medical practitioner, but they can be obtained if the base rate of the infection in the population is known.

Out of eight skulls with trepanations from the 6th to 8th centuries found in southwestern Germany, seven skulls show clear evidence of healing and survival after trepanation suggesting that the survival rate of the operations was high and the infection rate was low.

An international comparison of 2004 MRSA-attributable S. arueus rates in middle and high income countries released by the Center For Disease Dynamics, Economics, and Policy in showed that Iceland had the lowest rate of infection, and Romania had the highest at over 70 %.

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.

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.

Cells may also die as a direct consequence of viral infection.

The infection may also be introduced through a skull fracture following a head trauma or surgical procedures.

Similarly, bullets and other foreign bodies may become sources of infection if left in place.

The location of the primary lesion may be suggested by the location of the abscess: infections of the middle ear result in lesions in the middle and posterior cranial fossae ; congenital heart disease with right-to-left shunts often result in abscesses in the distribution of the middle cerebral artery ; and infection of the frontal and ethmoid sinuses usually results in collection in the subdural sinuses.

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.

However, simple husbandry changes and practical midge control measures may help break the livestock infection cycle.

If given subcutaneously, it may induce local infection and spread to the regional lymph nodes, causing either suppurative and nonsuppurative lymphadenitis.

Although there are no biological tests which confirm bipolar disorder, tests may be carried out to exclude medical illnesses such as hypo-or hyperthyroidism, metabolic disturbance, a systemic infection or chronic disease, and syphilis or HIV infection.

Rarely, young children, or adults may die from the acute disease due to severe inflammation / infection of the heart muscle ( myocarditis ) or brain ( meningoencephalitis ).

The USPSTF acknowledges that in some communities there may be other risk factors for infection, such as ethnicity.

" Typhlitis is an intestinal infection which may manifest itself through symptoms including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, a distended abdomen, fever, chills, or abdominal pain and tenderness.

The latency period is the time between infection and the ability of the disease to spread to another person, which may precede, follow, or be simultaneous with the appearance of symptoms.

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.

For example, scientists developing a new viral drug to treat an infection with a pathogenic virus ( e. g. HIV-1 ) may find that a candidate drug functions to prevent viral replication in an in vitro setting ( typically cell culture ).

An infection may then predispose those patients to develop IC.

Enlargement of the nodes lasting more than three weeks may indicate infection or some other disease process requiring further medical attention.

In patients whose respiratory muscles are already weak, crises may be triggered by infection, fever, an adverse reaction to medication, or emotional stress.

Various symptoms of infection: An infected person may have some or all symptoms, or may be asymptomatic.

For example, the marked susceptibility of the monkey to respiratory infection might be related to its delicate, long alveolar ducts and short, large bronchioles situated within a parenchyma entirely lacking in protective supportive tissue barriers such as those found in types 1, and 3.

Fleming's impression was that because of the problem of producing it in quantity, and because its action appeared to be rather slow, penicillin would not be important in treating infection.

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.

Botswana, like many nations in southern Africa, suffers from a high AIDS infection rates, estimated in a 2002 UN report to be 38. 8 % for adults.

Depending on lung infection, or sanitary conditions, plague also can be spread in the air, by direct contact, or by contaminated undercooked food or materials.

Without diagnosis and treatment, the infection can be fatal in one to six days ; mortality in untreated cases is approximately 100 %.

Treatment of chronic infection in women prior to or during pregnancy does not appear to reduce the probability the disease will be passed on to the infant.

Although Triatominae bugs feed on them, birds appear to be immune to infection and therefore are not considered to be a T. cruzi reservoir.

The infection can be passed through vaginal, anal, or oral sex.

The infection can be spread from eye to eye by fingers, shared towels or cloths, coughing and sneezing and eye-seeking flies.

C. trachomatis infection can be effectively cured with antibiotics once it is detected.

By controlling the point and time of infection, bodies could be conditioned to optimal state before contracting smallpox, therefore providing a better opportunity to fight and achieve immunity.

Duesberg claims that the supposedly innocuous nature of all retroviruses is supported by what he considers to be their normal mode of proliferation: infection from mother to child in utero.

Koch's postulates can not be met ethically for many human diseases because they require experimental infection of a healthy individual with a pathogen produced as a pure culture.
