Nature of Non-communicable Diseases

Non- communicable diseases are

not caused by pathogens or disease
causing organisms such as bacteria
or viruses, but rather, by how people
live, by the conditions by which they
are born or by a breakdown of the
conditions with which they are born
or by the hazards around them.
Some common Non-Communicable
Diseases
1. Allergy- a is guided reaction to
foreign substances by the immune
system. The substances that trigger
allergy are called allergen.
a. Hay Fever (allergic rhinitis)-is
characterized by seasonal nasal
symptoms that are due to
pollens.
Signs and Symptoms
1. Runny nose
2. Stuffy nose
3. Sneezing
4. Nasal itching (rubbing)
5. Itchy ears and throat
b. Allergic conjunctivitis- an
inflammation of the tissue layers that

C. Allergic eczema- an allergic rash
that is usually caused by skin contact
with an allergen.

the skin
• Rash on the face, especially among

• Rash around the eyes, in the elbow
creases, and behind the knees,

D. Hives (urticarial) are skin
reactions that appear as itchy
swellings and can occur on any part
of the body. It typically occurs when
the allergen is eaten (for example,
foods) or injected (for example, bee
sting)
