Image Description<\/h1>\n

This flowchart describes the Concept of Infection.\u00a0 In the centre of the chart, Infection is defined.<\/p>\n

The definition of the Concept of Infection is: the invasion and multiplication of microorganisms in body tissues, which may be clinically unapparent or result in local cellular injury<\/p>\n

Next, there are 4 arrows pointing from the definition to the Scope of Infection.\u00a0 The scope is divided into 4 categories: Bacterial, Viral, Fungal and Parasitic.<\/p>\n

Next, one arrow points from the definition to the Variation of Infection.\u00a0 Types of infection can vary by severity, location, host response to treatment, and potential for debilitating consequences.<\/p>\n

Next, the Physiological Process of Infection is outlined.\u00a0 The steps included in the process are: 1) Pathogen invades body; 2) Immune responses initiated to minimize tissue and organ damage; 3) vasodilation, increased vascular permeability, WBC recruitment, phagocytosis, cytokine release.<\/p>\n

From the Physiological Process, an arrow points down towards Assessment for Infection.\u00a0 Here, a summary of site-specific and general signs and symptoms is listed, as well as laboratory studies used to confirm presence of infection.\u00a0The symptom listed are: redness, heat, swelling, pain, exudate, cough, fever, fatigue.\u00a0 The laboratory studies listed are:\u00a0 C+S, CBC (\u2191 WBC count), radiographic studies, \u2191 CRP, ESR, Serological tests for virus or ab\u2019s)<\/p>\n

Finally, an arrow connects Assessment to Management of Infection. The treatment\/management depends on the cause and symptoms.\u00a0 For Bacterial infection \u2013 treat with antibiotics, for Viral infection \u2013 treat with antivirals, for Fungal infection \u2013 treat with antifungals, for Parasitic infection \u2013 treat with antiprotazoals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":90,"menu_order":2,"template":"","meta":{"pb_show_title":"on","pb_short_title":"","pb_subtitle":"","pb_authors":["amanda-egert","kimberly-lee","manu-gill"],"pb_section_license":""},"chapter-type":[],"contributor":[70,71,72],"license":[],"class_list":["post-538","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry","contributor-amanda-egert","contributor-kimberly-lee","contributor-manu-gill"],"part":527,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/opentextbc.ca\/nursingpharmacology\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/538","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/opentextbc.ca\/nursingpharmacology\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/opentextbc.ca\/nursingpharmacology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opentextbc.ca\/nursingpharmacology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/90"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/opentextbc.ca\/nursingpharmacology\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/538\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1563,"href":"https:\/\/opentextbc.ca\/nursingpharmacology\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/538\/revisions\/1563"}],"part":[{"href":"https:\/\/opentextbc.ca\/nursingpharmacology\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/parts\/527"}],"metadata":[{"href":"https:\/\/opentextbc.ca\/nursingpharmacology\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/538\/metadata\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/opentextbc.ca\/nursingpharmacology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=538"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"chapter-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opentextbc.ca\/nursingpharmacology\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapter-type?post=538"},{"taxonomy":"contributor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opentextbc.ca\/nursingpharmacology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/contributor?post=538"},{"taxonomy":"license","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opentextbc.ca\/nursingpharmacology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/license?post=538"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
