Inflamed: Swollen, red and painful as a result of an injury of disease
Smallpox: an acute contagious viral disease, with fever and pustules that usually leave permanent scars. It was effectively eradicated through vaccination by 1979.
Immune: resistant to a particular infection or toxin owing to the presence of specific antibodies or sensitized white blood cells.
Shingles: a painful acute inflammation of the nerve ganglia, with a skin eruption often forming a girdle around the middle of the body. It is caused by the same virus as chickenpox.
Inoculated: treat with a vaccine to produce immunity against a disease; vaccinate.
Attenuated: To reduce in force, value, amount, or degree; weaken
Prevention: the action of stopping something from happening or arising
Contract: To shorten; to become reduced in size; in the case of muscle, either to shorten or to undergo an increase in tension.
Tract Secretions: includes samples collected by nasal swab, nasopharyngeal swab, percutaneous tracheobronchial lavage and fiberoptic endoscopic sampling. Assessment is by laboratory examination for cellular content, bacteria, viruses, helminth parasites, fungi
Respiratory Droplets: The term usually refers to the transmission of microorganisms directly from one person to another by one or more of the following means: droplet contact – coughing or sneezing on another person. direct physical contact – touching an infected person, including sexual contact.
Reducing: make smaller or less in amount, degree, or size.
Gauze Pads: A gauze pad is a piece of fabric used to guard and cushion a wound, to absorb blood or other fluids, to apply ointments, or to rub cleansing fluids, such as rubbing alcohol or iodine, onto a wound or site of incision
Virus: an infective agent that typically consists of a nucleic acid molecule in a protein coat, is too small to be seen by light microscopy, and is able to multiply only within the living cells of a host.
Nerve Cells: Nerve cells are the primary cells in the nervous system. They are responsible for relaying electrical messages to cells and tissues in other organ systems. This article discusses the functions and structures of nerve cells in the human body.
Antibodies: a blood protein produced in response to and counteracting a specific antigen. Antibodies combine chemically with substances which the body recognizes as alien, such as bacteria, viruses, and foreign substances in the blood.
