10 DANGEROUS DISEASES

1.

Scarlet fever

Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever (DHF) {medical language called Dengue Hemorrhagic Feve
r (DHF)} is a disease caused by the dengue virus is one of the four virus seroty
pes of the genus Flavivirus, family Flaviviridae. Transmitted through the bite o
f Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus, which causes disturbances in capillary blo
od vessels and the blood clotting system, thus resulting in hemorrhage-bleeding.
The disease is commonly found tropical areas like Southeast Asia, India, Brazil,
the United States including in all corners of Indonesia, except in places a hei
ght of more than 1000 meters above sea level. Doctors and other health professio
nals such as midwives and Mantrihas diagnosis is often wrong in the rule, becaus
e the tendency of early symptoms that mimic other diseases such as influenza and
typhoid (typhoid).
Symptoms and signs - a sign of developing dengue fever
The disease is manifested by a continuous high fever, accompanied by signs of bl
eeding, such as rash. Rash of dengue fever discrete bright red. In addition to t
he signs and symptoms are abdominal pain, nausea, thrombocytopenia, hemoconcentr
ation, severe headache, pain in the joints (arthralgia), muscle pain (myalgia).
A small number of cases can lead to dengue shock syndrome which has a high morta
lity rate. This alert condition needs to be addressed with a vast knowledge by p
atients and their families should immediately consult a doctor if the patient /
patient has a high fever 3 days in a row. Many patients or families of patients
experienced mild fatal condition because it considers these symptoms.
2.
Stroke
Stroke is a condition that occurs when the blood supply to a part of the brain i
s suddenly interrupted. In brain tissue, the lack of blood flow causes a series
of biochemical reactions, which can damage or kill nerve cells in the brain. Dea
th of brain tissue can lead to loss of function that is controlled by the networ
k. Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States and many indu
strialized countries in Europe (Jauch, 2005). When saved, the patient sometimes
suffered paralysis in his limbs, partial loss of memory or speech abilities. In
recent years more and more popular term brain attack. This term corresponds to t
he well known term "heart attack". stroke occurs due to obstructed blood vessel
branches by embolism. Emboli may be cholesterol or air.
An atheroma (fatty deposits) may form in the carotid arteries causing reduced bl
ood flow. This situation is very serious as any in the carotid arteries deliver
blood to the normal state of most of the brain. Fatty deposits can also be detac
hed from the walls of arteries and blood flow, then the smaller arteries clog.
Carotid arteries and vertebral arteries and their branches can also clog due to
blood clots that originate from elsewhere, for example, of a heart or a valve. T
his kind of stroke called cerebral embolism (emboli = occlusion, cerebral blood
vessels of the brain =) most often occurs in patients who had undergone cardiac
surgery and patients with abnormalities of the heart valves or heart rhythm diso
rders (especially atrial fibrillation).
3.
Hepatitis
The liver is the second largest organ in the body. It was at the top of the abdo
minal cavity and on the right beneath the diaphragm so it is protected by the ri
bs. Weighing up to 3 pounds and is divided into main lobes, the right and left.
Hepatitis term used for all types of inflammation of the liver (liver). The caus
es can be various kinds, ranging from viruses to drugs, including traditional me
dicine.
Usually occurs due to viral hepatitis, especially one of the five hepatitis viru
ses, A, B, C, D or E. Hepatitis can also occur due to other viral infections, su
ch as infectious mononucleosis, yellow fever and cytomegalovirus infection. Caus

es of non-viral hepatitis is a major alcohol and drugs.

Often hepatitis A infection in children causes no symptoms, whereas in adults ca
uses flu-like symptoms, fatigue, fever, diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, yellow
eyes and loss of appetite.
The symptoms disappeared completely after 6-12 weeks. People who had been infect
ed with hepatitis A if recovered will be immune to the disease. Unlike hepatitis
B and C, hepatitis A does not lead to chronic hepatitis. The incubation period
is 30 days. Transmission through contaminated food or drink feces of patients, s
uch as eating fruits, vegetables that are not cooked or eating shellfish is half
-baked. Drink with ice cubes that the process is contaminated. Currently there a
re vaccines for hepatitis A, provides immunity for 4 weeks after the first injec
tion, the length required for immunity vaccine injections several times. Drug ad
dicts and anal sex, including homosexual is a high risk of contracting hepatitis
A.
4.

Obesity

Food is very important for every living creature. Because food is a source of en
ergy for us to be able to perform daily activities. But eating can make it dange
rous for us if we do it excessively. Often we hear the word obese.
Obesity, or better known as obesity, is scientifically excessive accumulation of
fat than the normal needs of the body. However, the problem of obesity is not o
nly experienced by women. Too many men who are dealing with this problem. Has a
slender body, slim, and perfect desire of women no longer alone. The desire to l
ook perfect be the dream of every person.
Indeed obesity occurs when the body becomes overweight (obese), in which the con
dition was caused by the buildup of fatty tissues of the body that are saved (ad
ipocytes). In other words, obesity is a condition in which a person has a weight
heavier than the ideal weight.
Scientifically, obesity is caused by consuming more calories than are required b
y the body. The cause of the imbalance between calorie intake and burning is sti
ll unclear.

5.

Leptospirosis

Leptospirosis is a disease of humans and animals caused by leptospira bacteria a

nd germs found in the urine and animal cells are exposed.
This disease was first reported in 1886 by Adolf Weil with symptoms of high feve
r accompanied by some nervous symptoms and an enlarged liver and spleen. Disease
with the symptoms mentioned above by Goldsmith (1887) referred to as Weil's Dis
ease. In 1915 Inada proved that "Weil's Disease" is caused by the bacterium Lept
ospira icterohemorrhagiae
Early symptoms of leptospirosis are usually fever, severe headache, muscle pain,
red, gag and red eyes. These symptoms can mimic other diseases, such as influen
za, diagnosis is often difficult. In fact, there are people who do not have all
the symptoms.
The incubation period for leptospirosis in humans is 2-26 days. Manifestations o
f leptospirosis infection have a very varied and sometimes without symptoms, so
it often goes wrong diagnosis. L. Infection interrogans may be subclinical infec
tion characterized by mild to severe cold, Almost 15-40 percent of patients expo

sed to infection are asymptomatic but serologically positive. Approximately 90 p

ercent of people with mild jaundis, while 5-10 percent by weight jaundis often k
nown as Weil's disease. Spira disease course consists of two phases, namely phas
e and phase immune septisemik. At the phase transition period for 1-3 days condi
tion of the patient improved. In addition there is Weil's Syndrome which is a se
vere form of leptospirosis infection.

6.

AIDS

"Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome" or Syndrome Less Durability Against Diseas

e.
AIDS is a disease caused as a result of the proliferation of the HIV virus (Huma
n Immunodeficiency Virus) in the human body, in which the virus attacks the whit
e blood cells (CD4 cells) that cause damage to the immune system. The loss or re
duction in body resistance is easy to make the patient infected with various dis
eases including mild disease.
The HIV virus attacks the CD4 cells and makes it a breeding ground for new HIV v
irus, then destroying it so it can not be used anymore. As we know that the whit
e blood cells very necessary for the immune system. Without immune then when our
bodies vulnerable to disease, our bodies are weak and do not try to fight outbr
eaks of disease and consequently we can die even if exposed to influenza or the
common cold.
When the human body is exposed to the HIV virus does not directly cause disease
or suffer from AIDS, but takes a long time even years for HIV to cause AIDS or H
IV positive are deadly.

7.

Kidney Stones

Kidney stones in the urinary tract (urinary calculus) is hard as a rock mass for
med in the urinary tract and can cause pain, bleeding, infection or blockage of
urine flow. These stones can form in the kidneys (kidney stones) and in the blad
der (bladder stones). The process of stone formation is called urolithiasis (ren
al lithiasis, nephrolithiasis)
Stone, especially small ones, may not cause symptoms. Stone in the bladder can c
ause pain in the lower abdomen. Stones that obstruct the ureter, renal pelvis an
d renal tubules can cause back pain or renal colic (severe colicky pain). Renal
colic is characterized by severe pain intermittent, usually in the area between
the ribs and hip bones, which spread to the abdomen, pubic area and inner thighs
. Other symptoms are nausea and vomiting, abdominal distention, fever, chills an
d blood in the urine. Patients may be frequent urination, especially when the st
one passes through the ureter. Stones can cause urinary tract infections. If sto
nes block the flow of urine, the bacteria will be trapped in the urine collected
over the blockage, so that there was an infection. If the blockage lasts long,
the water will flow back into the urinary tract in the kidney, leading to suppre
ssion of which would inflate the kidneys (hydronephrosis) and eventually kidney
damage can occur.
Because 90% of kidney stones less than 5 mm in diameter, usually given enough wa
ter decoction of herbs Desmodium stryracifulium and made to drink 6-8 glasses of
water per day, was given antibiotics to prevent infection, as well as painkille
rs. In general, the stone will be out within 5-10 days.

8.

Lower respiratory infections

The lower respiratory tract is that the a part of the respiratory tract below th
e vocal cords. whereas typically used as a synonym for pneumonia, the rubric of
lower respiratory tract infection also can be applied to different kinds of infe
ction as well as lung abscess and acute bronchitis. Symptoms embody shortness of
breath, weakness, high fever, coughing and fatigue.
Lower respiratory tract infections place a substantial strain on the health budg
et and are typically a lot of serious than higher respiratory infections. Since
1993 there has been a small reduction within the total range of deaths from lowe
r respiratory tract infection. but in 2002 they were still the leading explanati
on for deaths among all infectious diseases, and that they accounted for three.9
million deaths worldwide and six.9% of all deaths that year.
9.

cerebrovascular disease

Cerebrovascular disease could be a cluster of brain dysfunctions associated with

disease of the blood vessels supplying the brain. Hypertension is that the most
vital cause; it damages the blood vessel lining, endothelium, exposing the unde
rlying collagen where platelets mixture to initiate a repairing method that isn t
continually complete and ideal. Sustained hypertension permanently changes the d
esign of the blood vessels creating them slim, stiff, deformed, uneven and a lot
of liable to fluctuations in blood pressure.
A fall in blood pressure throughout sleep will then result in a marked reduction
in blood flow within the narrowed blood vessels inflicting ischemic stroke with
in the morning. Conversely, a sudden rise in blood pressure attributable to exci
tation throughout the daytime will cause tearing of the blood vessels leading to
intracranial hemorrhage. Cerebrovascular disease primarily affects those who ar
e elderly or have a history of diabetes, smoking, or ischemic heart disease. The
results of cerebrovascular disease will embrace a stroke, or sometimes a hemorr
hagic stroke. Ischemia or different blood vessel dysfunctions will have an effec
t on the person throughout a cerebrovascular accident.
10.
Ischaemic heart disease
Ischemic heart disease, conjointly referred to as myocardial ischemia, could be
a condition of the center where the center muscles are broken or don t work as eff
iciently thanks to a reduced blood offer to the center. The decreased blood flow
is most frequently caused by narrowing of the coronary arteries, a condition re
ferred to as atherosclerosis. the danger of obtaining this disease will increase
with age, and is additional prevalent among smokers than non-smokers. conjointl
y in danger are individuals with diabetes, high blood cholesterol levels, high b
lood pressure and people who have family history of the disease.
