Over time, it can cause acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, or A I D S (sorry, it says that this is a profanity). Specifically, it targets T-Cells. Since it is a retrovirus, it uses reverse transcription to copy part of its RNA into the host cell's DNA. One can be infected with HIV through contact with bodily fluids with HIV, with blood transfusions being the most prevalent exposure route. In order to reduce the symptoms, anti-retroviral therapy (ART) is used. ]]> 2019-01-10 16:07:59 UTC https://padlet.com/hiddensophie/Y13disease/wish/319313880 HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) https://padlet.com/hiddensophie/Y13disease/wish/319313894 Includes different types of lymphocyte, including helper T cells. 

It is a retrovirus that has genes made of RNA and uses reverse transcriptase to make DNA copies of its genes once it has entered a host cell. The rate at which helper T cells are destroyed by HIV varies considerably and can by slowed down via anti-retroviral 🤬. ]]> 2019-01-10 16:08:00 UTC https://padlet.com/hiddensophie/Y13disease/wish/319313894 E Coli https://padlet.com/hiddensophie/Y13disease/wish/319313922 Diarrhea and Vomiting are symptoms of being infected by this very common bacterium. ]]> 2019-01-10 16:08:02 UTC https://padlet.com/hiddensophie/Y13disease/wish/319313922 Ebola https://padlet.com/hiddensophie/Y13disease/wish/319314041 A virus that can cause severe bleeding and organ failure.

Transmitted by the bite of a mosquito.
Caused by the protozoan parasite Plasmodium.  Human malaria is caused by four different species of Plasmodium: P. falciparum, P. malariae, P. ovale and P. vivax.

Clinical features include fever, chills, headache, muscular aching and weakness, vomiting, cough, diarrhea and abdominal pain.]]> 2019-01-10 16:08:21 UTC https://padlet.com/hiddensophie/Y13disease/wish/319314111 HPV https://padlet.com/hiddensophie/Y13disease/wish/319314187 - Type of virus 
- 79 million Americans, most in their late teens and early 20s, are infected with HPV. 
- You can get HPV by having vaginal, 🤬, or oral sex with someone who has the virus.
- In most cases, HPV goes away on its own and does not cause any health problems. But when HPV does not go away, it can cause health problems like genital warts and cancer
- ou can do several things to lower your chances of getting HPV.Get vaccinated. The HPV vaccine is safe and effective. It can protect against diseases (including cancers) caused by HPV when given in the recommended age groups.

It is common and contagious (through contaminated floors, towels etc.)Usually it has a scaly rash that can cause irritation, stinging and burning. ]]> 2019-01-10 16:09:29 UTC https://padlet.com/hiddensophie/Y13disease/wish/319314833 Necrotizing fasciitis https://padlet.com/hiddensophie/Y13disease/wish/319314849 Flesh-eating disease occurs when bacteria enter the body through a break in the skin. People with a weakened immune system can be at greater risk of developing this condition.
The condition spreads quickly. Symptoms include blisters, fever, fatigue, and pain worse than a person would expect based on the wound's appearance.
Treatment involves immediate delivery of IV antibiotics. Surgical removal of dead or infected tissue from the wound is often required.
