AIR BORNE MICROORGANISM Dr. N. REEHANA Dr. N. REEHANA Assistant Professor, Assistant Professor, PG & Research Dept. of Microbiology PG & Research Dept. of Microbiology Jamal Mohamed College (Autonomous), Jamal Mohamed College (Autonomous), Tiruchirappalli Tiruchirappalli 620 020 620 020
Transmission of airborne microorganisms Organisms are sprayed by: Coughing Sneezing etc. Air microorganisms are carriedby: Dust particles Droplet nuclei
Air borne microbial diseases Bacterial diseases: Brucellosis: occupational disease among slaughter house workers Pulmonary Anthrax: transmission by contaminated animal products Streptococcus pyogenes: throat and skin disease Rheumatic fever: inflammation and degeneration of heart valves
Streptococcal pneumonia: Meningitis: common in children Diphtheria: infection of tonsils, throat and nose Tuberculosis: respiratory disease Legionellosis: cause by natural water contamination
Meningitis Caused by Neisseria meningitidis Inflammation or infection of meninges. Symptoms: Headache Neck stiffness Fever Confusions Photophobia Phonophobia
Diphtheria Acute contagious disease caused by cornynebacterium diphtheriae Formation of fibrous pseudomembrane on respiratory mucosa, myocardial and neural tissue damage. Symptoms: Sorethroat Low fever Cutaneous lesions etc.
Tuberculosis Caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Initiated by inhalation Symptoms: Chronic cough Blood tinged septum Night sweats Weight loss etc.
Airborne Fungal Diseases Fungal diseases: Cryptococcosis: caused by inhalation of soil particles Blastomycosis: lesion formation Coccidioidomycosis: influenza fever Aspergillosis: disease of human
SystemicMycosis Fungal infection caused by inhalation of fungal spore, Mycosis initiate in skin.
Symptoms: Fever, Chills, Night sweats, Weight loss, Depression People are at risk of fungal infections when they are taking strong antibiotics for a long period of time because antibiotics kill not only damaging bacteria , but healthy bacteria as well. This alters the balance of microorganisms in the mouth, vagina, intestines and other places in the body, and results in an overgrowth of fungus
Histoplasmosis Infectious disease caused by Histoplasma capsulatum. Also known as DARLING S DISEASE. Primarily effects lungs.
Cryptococcosis Infectious disease caused by Cryptococcus neoformans. AIDS causing disease. It primarily effects: Lungs Meninges Kidneys Bone Skin
Airborne Viral Diseases Viral diseases: Common cold: droplets fromnose Influenza: nasal discharge, headache, muscle pains, sore throat Measles: red blotchy skin rash Mumps: swelling of parotid gland and salivary glands Adeno viral diseases: acute respiratory disease and eyeinfection
Smallpox Caused by poxviridae family: Variolamajor Variolaminor Localized in small blood vessels of skin and mouth. Rash and fluid filled blisters.
Measles Contagious disease characterized by: Fever, Cough, Conjuctivitis eruption of buccal cavity or labial mucosa, cutaneous rash etc. Caused by paramyxovirus , spread largely from droplets by nose, throat, mouth of person.
Influenza Acute respiratory disease characterized by fever, cough, headache, inflamed respiratory membranes caused by myxovirus.
