Tuberculosis
A potentially serious infectious bacterial disease that mainly affects the lungs.
Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by a bacterium called Mycobacterium tuberculosis

2. Hemophilia
Hemophilia is a rare disorder in which the blood doesn't clot in the typical way
because it doesn't have enough blood- clotting proteins (clotting factors). If you have
hemophilia, you might bleed for a longer time after an injury than you would if your
blood clotted properly.
Identification test- Ducrey test
Vaccine - Hib vaccine ( pentacel and vaxelis )

3. Diphtheria
Diphtheria is a serious infection caused by strains of bacteria called Corynebacterium
diphtheriae that make a toxin. It is the toxin that can cause people to get very sick.
Identification test- ELEK’s test, Schick test
Vaccine - 5 dose of DTap and Tdap
Drug – Erythromycin, Penicillin, Diphtheria antitoxin
4. Pneumonia
Viruses that infect your lungs and airways can cause pneumonia. The flu (influenza
virus) and the comrnon cold (rhinovirus) are the most common causes of viral
pneumonia in adults. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most common cause of
viral pneumonia in young children.
Identification test- Cold haemagglutination test
Vaccine- Prevnar -20
Drug- xenleta ( lefamulin ), macrolide antibiotic
5. Typhoid
Typhoid fever is a bacterial infection that can spread throughout the body, affecting
many organs. Without prompt treatment. it can cause serious complications and can
be fatal. It's caused by a bacterium called Salmonella typhi.
Identification test- Widal test
Vaccine:- typbar(TCV)
Drug - ciprofloxacin ,levoflaxin , Azithromycin
6. Syphilis
A bacterial infection usually spread by sexual contact that starts as a painless sore.
Syphilis develops in stages and symptoms vary with each stage. Symptoms of syphilis
are fever, swollen lymph nodes, sore throat,headaches.

7. Influenza
Influenza viruses are members of the family Orthomyxoviridae. This family
represents enveloped viruses the genome of which consists of segmented negative-
sense single-strand RNA segments.

can become infected through contact with an infected animal or by inhaling spores.
Identification test- Ascoli test
Vaccine - Biothrax - anthrax vaccine adsorbed
Drug - Anthim ( ciprofloxacin, doxycycline)
9. Rheumatoid arthritis
A chronic inflammatory disorder affecting many joints, including those in the hands
and feet.
In rheumatoid arthritis, the body's immune system attacks its own tissue, including
joints. In severe cases, it attacks internal organs.

Typhus fevers are a group of diseases caused by bacteria that are spread to humans
by fleas, lice, and chiggers. Typhus fevers include scrub typhus, murine typhus, and
epidemic typhus. Chiggers spread scrub typhus, fleas spread murine typhus, and
body lice spread epidemic typhus.
