since the late 19th century, five antigenic shifts have led to pandemics in 1889-1891, 1918-1920, 1957-1958, 1968-1969, and 2009-2010. (cdc.gov)
There have been four major pandemics of flu since 1990 - The Spanish flu (1918-1919), the Asian flu (1957-1958), the Hong Kong flu (1968-1969) and the Swine flu (2009) - with Swine flu being the least deadly pandemic out of the four. (zovon.com)
Influenza4
severe complications after influenza virus infection, including pneumonia caused by S. aureus and MRSA, among previously healthy children and adults. (cdc.gov)
Staphylococcus aureus is an infrequent cause of commu- the demographic and clinical features of 17 patients with S. nity-acquired pneumonia (CAP), accounting for 3% aureus and MRSA CAP associated with influenza or of cases in which a bacterial cause is identified, but it is a influenzalike illness (ILI) and describe the microbiologic recognized cause of influenza-associated CAP ( 1-4 ). (cdc.gov)
Oliver and Murphy (1920) have attempted to use parenteraly administered hydrogen peroxide as a source of oxygen for the extrapulmonary respiration in patient with severe influenza pneumonia. (yonsei.ac.kr)
A person who can tolerate orally 10 to 15 grams of ascorbic acid per 24 hours when well, might be able to tolerate 30 to 60 grams per 24 hours if he has a mild cold, 100 grams with a severe cold, 150 grams with influenza, and 200 grams per 24 hours with mononucleosis or viral pneumonia.

The bacteria were carried for miles throughout the subway system, leading Army officials to conclude in a January 1968 report: "Similar covert attacks with a pathogenic [disease-causing] agent during peak traffic periods could be expected to expose large numbers of people to infection and subsequent illness or death.

Productive coughs usually occur after several days with a bacterial infection of the bronchi and last about a week. (healthy.net)
Sputum colored with pus is indicative of a secondary bacterial infection, although a yellowish sputum may be caused by an allergic response. (healthy.net)
Catscratch disease (CSD), also known as catscratch fever or subacute regional lymphadenitis, is a bacterial infection affecting lymph nodes that drain the sites of inoculation. (medscape.com)
An antibiotic is a type of medicine used to treat bacterial infection . (mdwiki.org)
Infections4
It is the most important type of antibacterial agent for fighting bacterial infections , and antibiotic medications are widely used in the treatment and prevention of such infections. (wikipedia.org)
Antibiotics are used to treat or prevent bacterial infections, [29] and sometimes protozoan infections . (wikipedia.org)
Bacterial respiratory infections should be treated with antiseptic compounds or, in the case of pneumonia, antibiotics. (healthy.net)
The symptoms of flu tend to start more suddenly, are more serious and can result in complicated health conditions, such as pneumonia, bacterial infections or hospitalizations. (zovon.com)
Superinfection3
Malnourishment, overcrowded medical camps and hospitals, and poor hygiene, exacerbated by the war, promoted bacterial superinfection, killing most of the victims after a typically prolonged death bed. (wikipedia.org)
Indications for surgery were bacterial superinfection with lung abscess formation and progressive septic shock (seven of nine) and abscess formation with massive pulmonary hemorrhage into the abscess cavity (two of nine). (thieme-connect.de)
Conclusion Emergency surgery under ECMO support seems to open up a perspective for surgical source control in COVID-19 patients with bacterial superinfection and localized pulmonary abscess. (thieme-connect.de)
Secondary bacterial1
5 (29%) patients had underlying dis- related complications, such as secondary bacterial infec- eases, and 4 (24%) had risk factors for MRSA (Table 1) tions, among pediatric and adult populations. (cdc.gov)
Antibiotics may be given as a preventive measure and this is usually limited to at-risk populations such as those with a weakened immune system (particularly in HIV cases to prevent pneumonia ), those taking immunosuppressive drugs , cancer patients, and those having surgery . (mdwiki.org)
In an in vitro trial, antiseptic lozenges containing amylmetacresol and 2,4-dichlorobenzyl alcohol eliminated at least 99.9% of all colony-forming units of 7 bacterial species associated with pharyngitis, including A. haemolyticum . (medscape.com)
Clinical1
The experiment, which involved blasting a bacterial fog over the entire 49-square-mile city from a Navy vessel offshore, was recorded with clinical nonchalance: "It was noted that a successful BW [biological warfare] attack on this area can be launched from the sea, and that effective dosages can be produced over relatively large areas," the Army wrote in its 1951 classified report on the experiment. (sweetliberty.org)
Experiment1
Britton Chance (1952) has reported in the experiment of respiring bacterial cell hydrogen peroxide may be separated to oxygen and water by catalase which participated in the control of hydrogen peroxide and perhaps in protection from ionizing radiation. (yonsei.ac.kr)
Only a few years ago, the flu vaccine was recommended mainly for elderly people, who were considered to be at risk for flu complications such as pneumonia. (talesfromtheroad.info)
Even though chickenpox is relatively mild for some people, for others it can be a very serious disease leading to severe illness with complications such as infected blisters, pneumonia, bleeding disorders, swelling of the brain, hospitalization and even death. (vaccinateyourfamily.org)
Bacteria2
The intestine allows the development of predominantly gram-positive bacterial flora, which may contribute to the nutritional requirements of the host perhaps through direct absorption of bacterial metabolites or digestion and absorption of intestinal bacteria and other materials following coprophagy. (nih.gov)
While not known as to what the cause is, Alabama Rot (aka cutaneous and renal glomerular vasculopathy (CRGV]) is often fatal in dogs and may be either caused by a parasite, bacteria, or bacterial toxin. (idstewardship.com)
Chronic1
Important mechanisms by which bacterial agents may induce carcinogenesis include chronic infection, immune evasion and immune suppression [ 18 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
Pneumococcus2
ae ROBERT AUSTRIAN In the fifty years spanning the scientific career of André Lwoff, few organisms have played a larger role than has pneumococcus in con- tributing to the understanding of bacterial disease and of the biology of the cell. (nih.gov)
Since sulfonamides are potent against pneumococcus regardless of type, their impact on the death rate from pneumonia, following their widespread introduction in 1938, is clearly evident. (nih.gov)
Severe1
Blood cultures have been negative, and in most, severe pneumonia with consolidation has not been a prominent feature. (cdc.gov)
Meningitis1
the histopathological lesions observed in the intracerebrally-inoculated monkeys revealed necrosis and complete destruction of the choroid plexus, plus caused generalised aseptic (non-bacterial) type of meningitis. (medicalveritas.org)
Mechanisms1
The bacterial mechanisms involved are as yet unclear. (biomedcentral.com)
Treatment1
In infants, it is sometimes administered intramuscularly for the treatment of pneumonias. (the-medical-dictionary.com)
Therapy1
Only after three distinct serotypes and an heterogenous collection of strains categorized as Group IV (Dochez and Gillespie, 1913) had been identified was an approach to the sero- therapy of pneumonia possible. (nih.gov)
