Influenza (FLU)
Carry O2 to tissues
lives for 120 days
Red blood cells (erythrocytes)
blood clot in the coronary artery
Heart Attack (Myocardial infarction)
Epidemic
sudden, significant increase, Regional
sepsis requirements
2 or more SIRS with suspected infection
Hijacks liver cells, B lives outside body for 7 days, C lives outside body for 21 days
Often called the "silent infection"
Hepatitis
Fights infections
White blood cells (leukocytes)
Blood clot in the Cerebral Artery
(blockage of blood flow to the brain causing stroke like symptoms)
Transient Ischemic Attack
Pandemic
Sudden, Significant, Global
Signs of SIRS
Tachycardia- HR > 90 Tachypnea RR> 20 Temp>100.4 Total Leukocytes >12,000
Bacterial infection that causes diarrhea
recurrent , commonly found in elderly or weak immune systems
C DIFF
Important for blood clotting
Platelets

all four types and 1 example for each
Infectious -
body - Alzheimer's, Asthma, Diabetes, CHF
Hereditary - Sickle cell
Deficiency- Scurvy
5 stages
SIRS, Sepsis , Septic Shock (40%), MOD's (75%), Death (100%)
2 billion people are infected, not all people that are exposed become sick, waits for weak immune systems

life expectancy is about 45 years
Misshapen RBC's
primarily affects African descent and those from central and south America
