1. INCUBATION. time from entrance of pathogen into the body to appearance of first symptoms; during this time
pathogens grow and multiply.
2. PRODROME. time from onset of nonspecific such as fever, malaise, and fatigue to move specific symptoms.
3. ILLNESS. time which demonstrates sign and symptoms specific to an infection type.
4. CONVALESCENE. time when acute symptoms of illness disappear.
1. LEPTOSPIROSIS is an infectious disease that can occur in humans and animals worldwide. A type of spiral-
shaped bacterium called a spirochete, Leptospira interrogans, causes leptospirosis. High risk factors for
leptospirosis include close association with animals and the water and soil they may contaminate with infected
urine.
Symptoms and signs of leptospirosis are highly variable and range from no symptoms to nonspecific symptoms
including
• high fever,
• chills,
• headache, and
• abdominal symptoms to Weil's disease with organ dysfunction.
2. SARS (SEVERE ACUTE RESPIRATORY SYNDROME) SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV) causes SARS. A coronavirus is
a common form of virus that typically causes upper-respiratory tract illnesses. The common cold results from a
kind of coronavirus. Six different kinds of coronavirus are known to infect humans. Four of these are common,
and most people will experience at least one of them at some time in their life. The two other types cause SARS
and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS). These are less common but far more deadly. Before SARS
appeared, coronaviruses had not been particularly dangerous to humans, but they had been known to cause
severe diseases in animals. As a result, scientists first thought that animals transmitted SARS-CoV to humans.
They now believe that an animal virus changed into a new, more deadly strain.
Causes
Droplets from coughing and sneezing and close human contact likely transmit the SARS virus. The respiratory
droplets are probably absorbed into the body through the mucous membranes of the mouth, nose, and eyes.
This could be through:
hugging and kissing
sharing utensils for eating and drinking
speaking to someone within a distance of 3 feet
touching someone directly
A person with the virus can spread the infection by leaving respiratory droplets on objects, such as door handles,
doorbells, and telephones. These are then picked up by someone else.
The virus is likely to remain active in the environment for several days.
3. CHIKUNGUNYA is an infection caused by the chikungunya virus (CHIKV). Symptoms include fever and joint
pain. These typically occur two to twelve days after exposure. Other symptoms may include headache, muscle
pain, joint swelling, and a rash. Most people are better within a week; however, occasionally the joint pain may
last for months. The risk of death is around 1 in 1,000. The very young, old, and those with other health
problems are at risk of more severe disease. The virus is spread between people by two types of mosquitos:
Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti. They mainly bite during the day. The virus may circulate within a number of
animals including birds and rodents. Diagnosis is by either testing the blood for the virus's RNA or antibodies to
the virus. The symptoms can be mistaken for those of dengue fever and Zika fever. After a single infection it is
believed most people become immune.
4. MENINGOCOCCEMIA is an infection caused by the Neisseria meningitidis bacteria. This is the same type of
bacteria that can cause meningitis. When the bacteria infect the membranes that cover your brain and spinal
cord, it’s called meningitis. When the infection remains in your blood but doesn’t infect your brain or spinal
cord, it’s called meningococcemia.
Neisseria meningitidis bacteria are common in your upper respiratory tract and don’t necessarily cause illness.
Although anyone can get meningococcemia, it’s most common in babies, children, and young adults.
An infection by Neisseria meningitidis, whether it becomes meningitis or meningococcemia, is considered a
medical emergency and requires immediate medical attention.
What Causes Meningococcemia?
Neisseria meningitidis, the bacteria that cause meningococcemia, can live harmlessly in your upper respiratory
tract. Simply being exposed to this germ is not enough to cause this disease. Up to 10 percent of people may
carry these bacteria, but not all of these people become sick.
An infected person can spread these bacteria through coughing and sneezing.
What Are the Symptoms of Meningococcemia?
You may only have a few symptoms initially. Common early symptoms are:
fever
headache
rash consisting of small spots
nausea
irritability
anxiety
7. SWINE FLU (AH1N1 FLU) is also known as swine flu. It's called swine flu because in the past, the people who
caught it had direct contact with pigs. That changed several years ago, when a new virus emerged that spread
among people who hadn't been near pigs.
In 2009, H1N1 was spreading fast around the world, so the World Health Organization called it a pandemic.
Since then, people have continued to get sick from swine flu, but not as many.
While swine flu isn't as scary as it seemed a few years ago, it's still important to protect yourself from getting it.
Like seasonal flu, it can cause more serious health problems for some people. The best bet is to get a flu vaccine,
or flu shot, every year. Swine flu is one of the viruses included in the vaccine.
LESSON 5. DEVELOPMENT OF PERSONAL LIFE SKILLS TO PREVENT AND CONTROL COMMUNICABLE DISEASES
1. PRIMARY PREVENTION activities are done to prevent one from having the disease. This includes getting
immunized, eating a healthy diet, and getting enough sleep.
2. SECONDARY PERVENTION activities are done to prevent further damages when the disease has already
started. This includes prompt diagnosis and treatment.
3. TERTIARY PREVENTION the focus is on rehabilitating the sick person so as to prevent long-term
complications of the disease.
PHYSICAL EDUCATION
INDOOR RECREATIONAL GAME
Recreational Games are activities that provide fun, suit people’s interests, teach motor skills, enhance
camaraderie, develop friendship among peers, and improve family relationships. Recreational game refreshes one’s
mind or body after work through activity that amuses or stimulates play.
DODGEBALL is a game in which players on two teams try to throw balls at each other while avoiding being hit
themselves. In North America, the game is typically played among children ages 6–12 in elementary school. However,
internationally, the sport has also emerged as a popular middle school, high school and college sport and in some
countries universities also play the sport. It is also popular in informal settings and is often played on a playground,
community or in organised recreational leagues.
1. COURT the size of the court is 25ft.X50ft. neural zone of 10ft. that divides the two sides
2. Everything on the outside of the court considered as OUT.
3. Players may step on the line but breaches over the line may considered as OUT.
4. On the side of the court located the QUEUE where players that must line up when they eliminated. No
jumping the line.
THE RUSH. the Rush occurs at the beginning of each game or reset.
BURDEN BALL. Holding this ball determines where team must throw the ball.
HEADSHOT occurs when a player is hit directly in the head by a high thrown ball. A high thrown ball is a ball
thrown above shoulder height of the person hit in the head. Shoulder height is the height of the shoulders of the
player in an upright standing position. If a player is ducking or crouching and hit in the head this will NOT be
deemed a headshot as the ball was NOT thrown above shoulder height.
