The purpose of this paper is to explore the different types of antimicrobial agents and the differences between viral and bacterial infections. Antimicrobial Agent Categories There are several antimicrobial agents to treat infections. Beta-lactams are the types ending in “illin” and those beginning with “ceph” or “cef” such as penicillin and the cephalosporin

Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS)‚ human viral disease that ravages the immune system‚ undermining the body’s ability to defend itself from infection and disease. Caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)‚ AIDS leaves an infected person vulnerable to opportunistic infections—infection by microbes that take advantage of a weakened immune system. Such infections are usually harmless in healthy people but can prove life-threatening to people

Consequently‚ leptospirosis is easily mistaken for other febrile illnesses including influenza‚ dengue fever‚ meningitis‚ or hepatitis. Therefore‚ rapid and appropriate laboratory diagnostic tests are needed to aid clinical case identification and to facilitate the implementation of rapid outbreak investigations for optimal treatment and patient management.

I. Intoduction Encephalitis is inflammation of the brain. Encephalitis is an inflammatory process in the brain parenchyma. It is associated with clinical evidence of brain dysfunction due to infective (usually viral) or non-infective processes. The pattern of brain involvement depends on the specific pathogen‚ the immunological state of the host‚ and a range of environmental factors. In encephalitis the virus initially gains entry and replicates in local or regional tissue‚ such as the
