Bacterial Diseases (Diseases and Treatment)

Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PVC) is used to protect infants, young children, and adults against disease caused by the bacterium streptococcus pneumoniae.

These vaccines are at least 80 percent effective against meningitis, sepsis and bacteremic pneumonia. As per the Lancet Report (2017), these vaccines have reduced the burden of antibiotic-resistant bacterial disease globally. Hence, statement 1 and 2 are correct.

While statement 3 is incorrect as these vaccines may cause certain side effects (such as decreased appetite, fever, irritability, rash, reactions at the site of injection, fatigue, sleepiness, etc.) and allergic reactions (such as difficulty in breathing, hoarseness, fast heartbeat, dizziness, swelling of the throat,etc.).

Measles, Rabies and Polio are the viral diseases while Tuberculosis is a bacterial disease. Tuberculosis generally affects the lungs. The disease is caused by bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Measles: Caused by a virus from the Paramyxoviridae family.

Rabies: Caused by the rabies virus, which can cause inflammation of the brain.

Polio: Caused by the poliovirus, which can invade the brain and spinal cord, potentially causing paralysis.

According to World Health Organisation, tuberculosis causes the death of the largest number of people at present time. In India, each year approx. 4-5 lakhs deaths are reported due to tuberculosis, which is about a third of the world’s toll.

Scabies is a skin infection caused by a microscopic mite called Sarcoptes scabiei, which burrows into the skin and causes itching.

Schizophrenia is a mental disorder characterized by disruptions in thinking, perception, emotion, and behavior.

The Montoux Tuberculin Skin Test (TST) or the TB blood test can be used to test for tuberculosis infection. This test is performed by injecting a small amount of fluid called tuberculin into the skin in the lower part of the arm.

The Widal test is a blood test used to detect antibodies against Salmonella Typhi and Salmonella Paratyphi, the bacteria that cause typhoid and paratyphoid fever.

It's a serological test that helps diagnose enteric fever by measuring the body's immune response to these bacteria. The test can be performed using either a slide method or a tube method.

It is a vaccine for tuberculosis (TB) disease. The vaccine was developed by Calmette and Guerin and was first administered to human beings in 1921.

It is the most widely administered vaccine and is usually a part of the routine newborn immunization schedule. BCG vaccine also offers protection against non-tuberculous mycobacterial infections like leprosy and Buruli ulcer.

It is often given to infants and small children. It is rarely given to anyone over the age of 16 because there is little evidence it works very well in adults. Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by bacteria (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) that most often affect the lungs.It is curable and preventable disease.
