DISEASES OF THE DEVICE
RESPIRATORY
The infections respiratory acute
(GONNA)
Due to its extensive contact with the environment, the
respiratory system is exposed to an infinite number of
infectious agents that, when they manage to overcome its
defensive mechanisms, cause a wide range of diseases.
ARIs are common diseases caused by viruses or bacteria.
Depending on the organ they affect, they are known as
laryngitis, bronchitis and pharyngitis. If not treated with a
specialist, they can cause more serious illnesses, such as
pneumonia. They are more frequent and intense in
children and girls.
pharyngitis
Pharyngitis is inflammation of the pharynx. It is
recognized by a sore throat and difficulty
swallowing food. It is caused by streptococcus-type
bacteria or a virus . Rest and medications
prescribed by your doctor relieve these symptoms.
It is also advisable to drink plenty of fluids. Well-
treated pharyngitis does not last more than four
days.
Bronchitis
Bronchitis is inflammation of the
bronchi. Dust particles, bacteria,
viruses or gases, such as sulfur oxides,
irritate the cells that line the bronchi. If the
decrease in defenses caused by a sudden change in
temperature is added to this irritation, the
condition worsens and the production of phlegm
and cough begins, making breathing difficult.
Bronchitis lasts between four and ten days;
However, if not treated with antibiotics it can
persist for almost a year.

The cold or catarrh
The cold is an illness caused by a virus that
can last up to a week. Symptoms are nasal
congestion, mucus discharge and sneezing.
There is no curative treatment. It is combated
with decongestant substances, rest, fluid
intake and pain relievers; It can be prevented
with vitamin C.
pneumonia
Pneumonia is an infection of the alveoli with pus
secretion, which prevents gas exchange. It is caused
by a bacterial infection or a virus.
Fluid accumulates in inflamed lungs, making
breathing difficult.
The most common symptoms are high fever and
chest pain. Treatment consists of ingesting
antibiotics, exercises to eliminate fluid from the
lungs, plenty of rest, and drinking plenty of fluids.

Asthma
Asthma is a chronic inflammation of the
airways that reduces airflow through them,
causing breathing difficulties.
It is caused by the presence of irritating
substances in the air, such as cigarette
smoke and dust particles. In some cases,
asthma can even put people's lives at risk .

The flu
The flu is an illness caused by the influenza
virus, which can last up to a month. Muscle
aches, joint pain and fever occur.
The tuberculosis.-
It is a disease caused by human infection with the
Koch bacillus (Mycobacterium tuberculosis).
Tuberculosis is an infection caused by a bacteria from the
mycobacteria family, which can affect only the lung, or
more organs. The spread of tuberculosis occurs when a
person inhales microscopic droplets of saliva from the
patient that contain the bacteria that causes it. The most
common symptoms of pulmonary tuberculosis, the most
common form, are cough, expectoration, low-grade fever,
loss of appetite and weight, and fatigue.
Health effects of tobacco consumption

It is very dangerous to start smoking. Tobacco is

addictive, meaning it is very difficult to stop smoking
 even if you want to; smoking causes serious mental
disorders.
health.

• Lung capacity is reduced and heart rate increases at rest,

making it more difficult to practice any sport, even daily
activities such as climbing stairs or playing ball in the yard
are performed with more difficulty. Cough and fatigue
appear immediately.
• It damages the skin of the face, produces premature
aging, wrinkles appear around the mouth and eyes.
Fingers, nails and teeth become yellowish.

unpleasant odor.
