MAIN  SYMPTOM:  Malnutrition  and  Anemia    

     Malnutrition  and  Anemia  Classification    

     

 COMMUNICABLE  DISEASES  

 Ø Cholera

ü Other names:El tor ü Fecal-oral route 5 Fs ü Incubation Period: Few hours to 5 days; Usually 3

days ü Pathognomonic Sign: Rice watery stool ü Diagnostic Test: Stool culture ü Treatment:Oral rehydration solution (ORESOL) IVF ü Drug-of-Choice: tetracycline (use straw; can cause

staining of teeth). Oral tetracycline should be administered with meals or after milk.

 Ø Shistosomiasis

ü Other Names: Snail Fever Bilharziasis ü Endemic in 10 regions and 24 provinces High

prevalence: Regions 5, 8, 11 ü Contact with the infected freshwater with cercaria and

penetrates the skin

ü Diarrhea Bloody stools (on and off dysentery) Enlargement of abdomen Splenomegaly Hepatomegaly Anemia / pallor weakness

ü Diagnostic Test: COPT or cercum ova precipitin test (stool exam)

ü Drug-of-Choice: PRAZIQUANTEL (Biltracide) Oxamniquine for S. mansoni Metrifonate for S. haematobium *Death is often due to hepatic complication

ü Dispose the feces properly not reaching body of water Use molluscides Prevent exposure to contaminated water (e.g. use rubber boots)

ü Apply 70% alcohol immediately to skin to kill surface cercariae

ü Allow water to stand 48-72 hours before use Ø Malaria

ü Plasmodium Parasites: Vivax Falciparum (most fatal; most common in the Philippines)

ü Bite of infected anopheles mosquito Night time biting High-flying

ü Rural areas Clear running water ü Malarial Smear – best time to get the specimen is at

height of fever because the microorganisms are very active and easily identified

ü Chemoprophylaxis: only chloroquine should be given (taken at weekly intervals starting from 1-2 weeks before entering the endemic area). In pregnant women, it is given throughout the duration of pregnancy.

ü Treatment: 1. QUININE – oldest drug used to treat malaria; from the bark of Cinchona tree; ALERT: Cinchonism – quinine toxicity 2. CHLOROQUINE 3. PRIMAQUINE – sometimes can also be given as chemoprophylaxis 4. FANSIDAR – combination of pyrimethamine and sulfadoxine
