Congenital infections affect babies as the result of infection of the mother during pregnancy. Infection of the infant can occur before the infant is born or during the birth process.
Allergies are disorders of the immune system. Most allergic reactions are a result of an immune system that responds to a "false alarm." When a harmless substance such as dust, mold, or pollen is encountered by a person who is allergic to that substance, the immune system may react dramatically by producing antibodies that "attack" the allergen (a substance that produces allergic reactions). The result of an allergen entering a susceptible person's body may include wheezing, itching, runny nose, watery or itchy eyes, and other symptoms.The purpose of the immune system is to keep infectious microorganisms, such as certain bacteria, viruses, and fungi, out of the body, and to destroy any infectious microorganisms that do invade the body. The immune system is made up of a complex and vital network of cells and organs that protect the body from infection.
Gonorrhoea - 'the clap' - is a common sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by a type of bacteria (neisseria gonorrhoeae). Infection usually occurs in the genitals, but can affect the throat, eyes and rectum. It can even spread through the bloodstream causing more widespread infection in some cases.If gonorrhoea remains untreated, there is a risk of passing the infection on to others. Gonorrhoea can also be passed on from mother to baby at the time of birth, and can cause a severe eye infection in newly born infants.
Congenital syphilis is syphilis present in utero and at birth, and occurs when a child is born to a mother with syphilis. Untreated early syphilis infections results in a high risk of poor pregnancy outcomes, including saddle nose, lower extremity abnormalities, miscarriages, premature births, stillbirths, or death in neonates.
Down syndrome is a genetic disorder caused when abnormal cell division results in extra genetic material from chromosome 21. Klinefelter syndrome is a genetic condition that results when a boy is born with an extra copy of the X chromosome. Klinefelter syndrome is a common genetic condition affecting males.
Penicillin is an antibiotic in the penicillin group of drugs. It fights bacteria in your body.
Penicillin is used to treat many different types of infections caused by bacteria, such as ear infections. Penicillin may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
penicillin as a class of antibiotics are generally narrow spectrum. when used in combination with other antibiotics, penicillins can make up a part of broad spectrum antibiotic therapy.
