DISEASE
OVERVIEWS

This chapter deals with some common communicable and non-communicable diseases
and their causes, symptoms and prevention.

The triangular model of a disease has three components: agent, host, and environment.
Disease occurs when an external agent meets a susceptible host in an environment that allows the
agent host to interact.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

At the end of the module, you are expected to:

1. Name some common communicable and non- communicable

diseases;
2. Identify the causes and symptoms of these diseases; and
3. And enumerate and follow the preventive measures for these
diseases.

DISEASES

What is Disease?

A disorder of structure or function in a human, animal, or plant,

especially one that produces specific signs or symptoms or that affects a specific location and is
not simply a direct result of physical injury.

Communicable and Non-Communicable Diseases

1. SORE EYE
Allergies and eye infections can both cause your eyes to feel sore, red and itchy. Often, itchy or
irritated eyes can become sore after excessive rubbing. The eye infection conjunctivitis is a
particularly common cause of sore, red eyes. Contact lens irritation can also cause sore, red eyes.

There are several symptoms and treatment of the sore eyes.

Dry, sore eyes

Sore eyes combined with a dry, gritty feeling could be caused by dry eye syndrome. Constantly
sore and dry eyes may even water more, as the eyes respond to the dryness and irritation with
excess tears. Have a look at the information on dry eyes and watery eyes for more details.
Itchy, red, sore eyes
Allergies and eye infections can both cause your eyes to feel sore, red and itchy. Often, itchy or
irritated eyes can become sore after excessive rubbing. The eye infection conjunctivitis is a
particularly common cause of sore, red eyes. Contact lens irritation can also cause sore, red eyes.
Sharp eye pain
An injury to the eye or trauma can often cause sharp or stabbing eye pain. In extremely rare
cases, sharp or stabbing eye pain can be a symptom of a much more serious condition, such as a
brain tumour or aneurysm. However, a much more common cause is simply a headache or
migraine that feels as if it is directly behind the eye.
If you experience sudden eye pain combined with blurred vision, haloes around lights, nausea or
vomiting, it could be symptom of acute closed-angle glaucoma. This is a medical emergency,
and you should seek medical attention straight away.

3|Page
Dull eye pain
If you experience a dull, aching eye pain, or pain that feels deep within your eye, it may simply
be caused by eyestrain or overuse of your eyes. However, if the pain does not subside, it could be
a symptom of a more serious condition or eye disease such as glaucoma.
Treatment
It’s really important to see your eye specialist or doctor if you encounter eye pain, especially if
the pain does not subside. While it’s unlikely your sore eyes will be a symptom of a very serious
condition, it’s still a possibility, and you should get an expert diagnosis.
Treatments obviously depend on the cause, and can be as simple as using eye drops or
compresses for dry eyes and allergies, to medication and surgery for more serious eye conditions.

2. CHRONIC BRONCHITIS

Chronic bronchitis is inflammation (swelling) and irritation of the bronchial tubes. These tubes
are the airways that carry air to and from the air sacs in your lungs. The irritation of the tubes
causes mucus to build up.

Chronic bronchitis is a type of COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). COPD is a group

of lung diseases that make it hard to breathe and get worse over time. The other main type of
COPD is emphysema. Most people with COPD have both emphysema and chronic bronchitis,
but how severe each type is can be different from person to person.

What are the symptoms of chronic bronchitis?

At first, you may have no symptoms or only mild symptoms. As the disease gets worse, your
symptoms usually become more severe. They can include

 Frequent coughing or a cough that produces a lot mucus

 Wheezing
 A whistling or squeaky sound when you breathe
 Shortness of breath, especially with physical activity
 Tightness in your chest

5|Page
 3. COMMON COLD

The common cold is caused by over 200 types of viruses. It is easily spread when an infected
person coughs, sneezes or simply through hand-to-hand contact. Protect yourself by practicing
good hand washing etiquette and taking your trusted over the counter medicine.

Causes

The common cold is usually triggered by over 200 types of viruses and according to Mayo
Clinic, the rhinovirus is the usual culprit. This common illness is easily spread through hand-to-
hand contact, just like sore eyes (link to sore eyes article).

How do you know if you’re infected?

The typical signs of the common cold usually manifest one to three days after being exposed.
Symptoms include:

 Low-grade fever
 Sore throat
 Nasal congestion
 Runny or stuffy nose with yellowish/greenish discharge
 Slight body aches
 Mild headache
 Sneezing
 Coughing

Risk factors

Everyone is at risk of acquiring cough and colds but those who are more prone are children
under six years of age and anyone who has a weak immune system. Other environmental factors
include exposure to crowded areas (especially airplanes) and cold weather. Some studies also
suggest that smokers tend to suffer more severe colds compared to their non-smoking
counterparts.

Prevention, treatment

Usually, you won’t need to schedule a doctor’s appointment for having a cold, but it is
recommended that you stay at home so your body can rest. Take note of these other
precautionary measures so you’re protected:

 The simple act of sharing cups/utensils with an infected person can put you at risk—stick to
your own set of cutleries and stay away from people with colds.
 Germs can easily be spread by sneezing and coughing, so practicing good hand hygiene is a
must.

6|Page
 Make a conscious effort of disinfecting your things after you’ve touched them and always
cover your mouth when you cough.
 Drinking lots of liquids can also speed up your recovery as well as proper disposal of your
used tissues.

When to see your doctor

Consider seeking medical attention if you develop a fever (temperature greater than 38.5 C).
Watch out for these other red flags which could indicate that you need to see your GP
immediately:

For adults with colds

 Severe sore throat

 Shortness of breath
 Wheezing
 Fever lasts for more than five days or returns after a fever-free period

For children with colds

 Fever of 38C in newborns

 Ear pain
 Lack of appetite
 Wheezing
 Rising fever

4. CHICKENPOX

Chickenpox, also known as varicella, is a highly contagious disease caused by the initial
infection with varicella zoster virus (VZV). The disease results in a characteristic skin rash that
forms small, itchy blisters, which eventually scab over. It usually starts on the chest, back, and
face.

Chickenpox is an infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus. It causes an itchy rash with
small, fluid-filled blisters. Chickenpox is highly contagious to people who haven't had the
disease or been vaccinated against it. Today, a vaccine is available that protects children against
chickenpox. Routine vaccination is recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC)

Symptoms

The itchy blister rash caused by chickenpox infection appears 10 to 21 days after exposure to the
virus and usually lasts about five to 10 days. Other signs and symptoms, which may appear one
to two days before the rash, include:

 Fever
 Loss of appetite
 Headache
 Tiredness and a general feeling of being unwell (malaise)

Once the chickenpox rash appears, it goes through three phases:

 Raised pink or red bumps (papules), which break out over several days
 Small fluid-filled blisters (vesicles), which form in about one day and then break and leak
 Crusts and scabs, which cover the broken blisters and take several more days to heal

8|Page
 New bumps continue to appear for several days, so you may have all three stages of the rash
— bumps, blisters and scabbed lesions — at the same time. You can spread the virus to other
people for up to 48 hours before the rash appears, and the virus remains contagious until all
broken blisters have crusted over.

The disease is generally mild in healthy children. In severe cases, the rash can cover the
entire body, and lesions may form in the throat, eyes, and mucous membranes of the urethra,
anus and vagina.

When to see a doctor

If you think you or your child might have chickenpox, consult your doctor. He or she usually can
diagnose chickenpox by examining the rash and considering other symptoms. Your doctor can
also prescribe medications to lessen the severity of chickenpox and treat complications, if
necessary. To avoid infecting others in the waiting room, call ahead for an appointment and
mention that you think you or your child may have chickenpox.

Also, let your doctor know if:

 The rash spreads to one or both eyes.

 The rash gets very red, warm or tender. This could indicate a secondary bacterial skin
infection.
 The rash is accompanied by dizziness, disorientation, rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath,
tremors, loss of muscle coordination, worsening cough, vomiting, stiff neck or a fever higher
than 102 F (38.9 C).
 Anyone in the household has a problem with his or her immune system or is younger than 6
months.

5. “EL TOR” OR CHOLERA

Cholera is a bacterial disease usually spread through contaminated water. Cholera causes severe

diarrhea and dehydration. Left untreated, cholera can be fatal within hours, even in previously
healthy people. Modern sewage and water treatment have virtually eliminated cholera in
industrialized countries

Cholera is a bacterial disease usually spread through contaminated water. Cholera causes severe
diarrhea and dehydration. Left untreated, cholera can be fatal within hours, even in previously
healthy people.

Modern sewage and water treatment have virtually eliminated cholera in industrialized countries.
But cholera still exists in Africa, Southeast Asia and Haiti. The risk of a cholera epidemic is
highest when poverty, war or natural disasters force people to live in crowded conditions without
adequate sanitation.

Cholera is easily treated. Death from severe dehydration can be prevented with a simple and
inexpensive rehydration solution.

Symptoms

Most people exposed to the cholera bacterium (Vibrio cholerae) don't become ill and don't know
they've been infected. But because they shed cholera bacteria in their stool for seven to 14 days,
they can still infect others through contaminated water.
Most cases of cholera that cause symptoms cause mild or moderate diarrhea that's often hard to
tell apart from diarrhea caused by other problems. Others develop more-serious signs and
symptoms of cholera, usually within a few days of infection.

Symptoms of cholera infection can include:

10 | P a g e
 Diarrhea. Cholera-related diarrhea comes on suddenly and can quickly cause dangerous
fluid loss — as much as a quart (about 1 liter) an hour. Diarrhea due to cholera often has a
pale, milky appearance that resembles water in which rice has been rinsed.
 Nausea and vomiting. Vomiting occurs especially in the early stages of cholera and can last
for hours.
 Dehydration. Dehydration can develop within hours after cholera symptoms start and range
from mild to severe. A loss of 10% or more of body weight indicates severe dehydration.

6. WHOOPING COUGH

Whooping cough (pertussis)

11 | P a g e
 is a highly contagious respiratory tract infection. In many people, it's marked by a severe
hacking cough followed by a high-pitched intake of breath that sounds like "whoop." Before the
vaccine was developed, whooping cough was considered a childhood disease.

Symptoms

Once you become infected with whooping cough, it takes about seven to 10 days for signs and
symptoms to appear, though it can sometimes take longer. They're usually mild at first and
resemble those of a common cold:

 Runny nose
 Nasal congestion
 Red, watery eyes
 Fever
 Cough
After a week or two, signs and symptoms worsen. Thick mucus accumulates inside your airways,
causing uncontrollable coughing. Severe and prolonged coughing attacks may:

 Provoke vomiting
 Result in a red or blue face
 Cause extreme fatigue
 End with a high-pitched "whoop" sound during the next breath of air

However, many people don't develop the characteristic whoop. Sometimes, a persistent hacking
cough is the only sign that an adolescent or adult has whooping cough.
Infants may not cough at all. Instead, they may struggle to breathe, or they may even temporarily
stop breathing

12 | P a g e
7. MEASLES

Measles is a childhood infection caused by a virus. Once quite common, measles can now almost
always be prevented with a vaccine.

Also called rubella, measles can be serious and even fatal for small children. While death rates
have been falling worldwide as more children receive the measles vaccine, the disease still kills
more than 100,000 people a year, most under the age of 5.

As a result of high vaccination rates in general, measles hasn't been widespread in the United
States for more than a decade. The United States had about 30 cases of measles in 2004 but more
than 600 cases in 2014. Most of these cases originated outside the country and occurred in
people who were unvaccinated or who didn't know whether or not they had been vaccinated.

Symptoms

Measles signs and symptoms appear around 10 to 14 days after exposure to the virus. Signs and
symptoms of measles typically include:

 Fever
 Dry cough
 Runny nose
 Sore throat
 Inflamed eyes (conjunctivitis)

13 | P a g e
 Tiny white spots with bluish-white centers on a red background found inside the mouth on
the inner lining of the cheek — also called Koplik's spots
 A skin rash made up of large, flat blotches that often flow into one another

The infection occurs in a sequence of stages during a period of two to three weeks.

 Infection and incubation. For the first 10 to 14 days after you're infected, the measles virus
incubates. You have no signs or symptoms of measles during this time.
 Nonspecific signs and symptoms. Measles typically begins with a mild to moderate fever,
often accompanied by a persistent cough, runny nose, inflamed eyes (conjunctivitis) and sore
throat. This relatively mild illness may last two or three days.
 Acute illness and rash. The rash consists of small red spots, some of which are slightly
raised. Spots and bumps in tight clusters give the skin a splotchy red appearance. The face
breaks out first. Over the next few days, the rash spreads down the arms and trunk, then over
the thighs, lower legs and feet. At the same time, the fever rises sharply, often as high as 104
to 105.8 F (40 to 41 C).
 The measles rash gradually recedes, fading first from the face and last from the thighs and
feet.

8. PNEUMONIA
Pneumonia is an infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs. The air sacs may
fill with fluid or pus (purulent material), causing cough with phlegm or pus, fever, chills, and
difficulty breathing. A variety of organisms, including bacteria, viruses and fungi, can
cause pneumonia

Pneumonia is an infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs. The air sacs may fill
with fluid or pus (purulent material), causing cough with phlegm or pus, fever, chills, and
difficulty breathing. A variety of organisms, including bacteria, viruses and fungi, can cause
pneumonia.

Pneumonia can range in seriousness from mild to life-threatening. It is most serious for
infants and young children, people older than age 65, and people with health problems or
weakened immune systems.

Symptoms

The signs and symptoms of pneumonia vary from mild to severe, depending on factors such as
the type of germ causing the infection, and your age and overall health. Mild signs and
symptoms often are similar to those of a cold or flu, but they last longer.

Signs and symptoms of pneumonia may include:

 Chest pain when you breathe or cough

 Confusion or changes in mental awareness (in adults age 65 and older)
 Cough, which may produce phlegm
 Fatigue
 Fever, sweating and shaking chills
 Lower than normal body temperature (in adults older than age 65 and people with weak
immune systems)
 Nausea, vomiting or diarrhea
 Shortness of breath

Newborns and infants may not show any sign of the infection. Or they may vomit, have a fever
and cough, appear restless or tired and without energy, or have difficulty breathing and eating.

When to see a doctor

See your doctor if you have difficulty breathing, chest pain, persistent fever of 102 F (39 C) or
higher than or persistent cough, especially if you're coughing up pus.
It's especially important that people in these high-risk groups see a doctor:

 Adults older than age 65

15 | P a g e
 Children younger than age 2 with signs and symptoms
 People with an underlying health condition or weakened immune system
 People receiving chemotherapy or taking medication that suppresses the immune system

Causes

Many germs can cause pneumonia. The most common are bacteria and viruses in the air we
breathe. Your body usually prevents these germs from infecting your lungs. But sometimes these
germs can overpower your immune system, even if your health is generally good.
Pneumonia is classified according to the types of germs that cause it and where you got the
infection.

Community-acquired pneumonia

Community-acquired pneumonia is the most common type of pneumonia. It occurs outside of

hospitals or other health care facilities. It may be caused by:

 Bacteria. The most common cause of bacterial pneumonia in the U.S. is Streptococcus

pneumoniae. This type of pneumonia can occur on its own or after you've had a cold or the
flu. It may affect one part (lobe) of the lung, a condition called lobar pneumonia.
 Bacteria-like organisms. Mycoplasma pneumoniae also can cause pneumonia. It typically
produces milder symptoms than do other types of pneumonia. Walking pneumonia is an
informal name given to this type of pneumonia, which typically isn't severe enough to require
bed rest.
 Fungi. This type of pneumonia is most common in people with chronic health problems or
weakened immune systems, and in people who have inhaled large doses of the organisms.
The fungi that cause it can be found in soil or bird droppings and vary depending upon
geographic location.
 Viruses, including COVID-19. Some of the viruses that cause colds and the flu can cause
pneumonia. Viruses are the most common cause of pneumonia in children younger than 5
years. Viral pneumonia is usually mild. But in some cases it can become very serious.
Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) may cause pneumonia, which can become severe.

 9. TUBERCULOSIS

Tuberculosis (TB) is a potentially serious infectious disease that mainly affects your lungs. The
bacteria that cause tuberculosis are spread from one person to another through tiny droplets
released into the air via coughs and sneezes.

Once rare in developed countries, tuberculosis infections began increasing in 1985, partly
because of the emergence of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. HIV weakens a person's immune
system so it can't fight the TB germs. In the United States, because of stronger control programs,
tuberculosis began to decrease again in 1993, but remains a concern.

Many strains of tuberculosis resist the drugs most used to treat the disease. People with active
tuberculosis must take several types of medications for many months to eradicate the infection
and prevent development of antibiotic resistance.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease caused by bacteria called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The

bacteria usually attack the lungs, but they can also damage other parts of the body.

TB spreads through the air when a person with TB of the lungs or throat coughs, sneezes, or
talks. If you have been exposed, you should go to your doctor for tests. You are more likely to
get TB if you have a weak immune system.

Symptoms of TB in the lungs may include

 A bad cough that lasts 3 weeks or longer

 Weight loss
 Loss of appetite
 Coughing up blood or mucus
 Weakness or fatigue
 Fever
 Night sweats

Skin tests, blood tests, x-rays, and other tests can tell if you have TB. If not treated properly, TB
can be deadly. You can usually cure active TB by taking several medicines for a long period of
time.

Although your body may harbor the bacteria that cause tuberculosis (TB), your immune system
usually can prevent you from becoming sick. For this reason, doctors make a distinction
between:

 Latent TB. In this condition, you have a TB infection, but the bacteria remain in your body in an
inactive state and cause no symptoms. Latent TB, also called inactive TB or TB infection, isn't
contagious. It can turn into active TB, so treatment is important for the person with latent TB and
to help control the spread of TB. An estimated 2 billion people have latent TB.
 Active TB. This condition makes you sick and in most cases can spread to others. It can occur in
the first few weeks after infection with the TB bacteria, or it might occur years later.

17 | P a g e
Signs and symptoms of active TB include:

 Coughing that lasts three or more weeks

 Coughing up blood
 Chest pain, or pain with breathing or coughing
 Unintentional weight loss
 Fatigue
 Fever
 Night sweats
 Chills
 Loss of appetite

Tuberculosis can also affect other parts of your body, including your kidneys, spine or brain.
When TB occurs outside your lungs, signs and symptoms vary according to the organs involved.
For example, tuberculosis of the spine may give you back pain, and tuberculosis in your kidneys
might cause blood in your urine.

Complications

Without treatment, tuberculosis can be fatal. Untreated active disease typically affects your
lungs, but it can spread to other parts of your body through your bloodstream. Examples of
tuberculosis complications include:

 Spinal pain. Back pain and stiffness are common complications of tuberculosis.

 Joint damage. Tuberculous arthritis usually affects the hips and knees.
 Swelling of the membranes that cover your brain (meningitis). This can cause a lasting or
intermittent headache that occurs for weeks. Mental changes also are possible.
 Liver or kidney problems. Your liver and kidneys help filter waste and impurities from
your bloodstream. These functions become impaired if the liver or kidneys are affected by
tuberculosis.
 Heart disorders. Rarely, tuberculosis can infect the tissues that surround your heart, causing
inflammation and fluid collections that may interfere with your heart's ability to pump
effectively. This condition, called cardiac tamponade, can be fatal.

Prevention
If you test positive for latent TB infection, your doctor may advise you to take medications to
reduce your risk of developing active tuberculosis. The only type of tuberculosis that is
contagious is the active variety, when it affects the lungs. So if you can prevent your latent
tuberculosis from becoming active, you won't transmit tuberculosis to anyone else.

10.DENGUE

Dengue viruses are spread to people through the bite of an infected Aedes species

(Ae. aegypti or Ae. albopictus) mosquito. Dengue is common in more than 100 countries around
the world. Forty percent of the world’s population about 3 billion people, live in areas with a risk
of dengue. Dengue is often a leading cause of illness in areas with risk.

19 | P a g e
Symptoms

 Mild symptoms of dengue can be confused with other illnesses that cause fever, aches and
pains, or a rash.

The most common symptom of dengue is fever with any of the following:

 Nausea, vomiting
 Rash
 Aches and pains (eye pain, typically behind the eyes, muscle, joint, or bone pain)
 Any warning sign

Symptoms of dengue are typically last 2–7 days. Most people will recover after about a week.
Treatment.
