Top 10 Most Dangerous Diseases: 10. MRSA Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus is resistant to antibiotics like penicillin and cephalosporin. MRSA infects the weakened immune system of people, whose immune system cannot afford to fight against bacteria, like Diabetic and Venous drug abusers. There is a lot of care to be done in hospitals to prevent this infection from occurring and spreading. 9. Gonorrhea Gonorrhea was named after Neisseria Gonorrhoea, who researched the infection.. It’s an infection which is transmitted by sexual contact. The infection can be transmitted from man to woman or vice versa too. Women usually have a vaginal discharge and genital pain as a symptom, whereas men have burning urination. Gonorrhoea causes Pelvic Inflammatory disease in women which can be treated as well. 8. Cholera and Typhoid The ‘food and water’ related diseases are Cholera and Typhoid,which enter the body through the things we eat and eventually enter our gastrointestinal tract and resulting in vomiting and diarrhoea. The specific bacterium that causes Cholera is bacterium vibrio cholerae which leads to electrolyte imbalance and if left untreated it becomes lethal. On the other hand Typhoid is caused by bacterium Salmonella Typhi, this causes an upset stomach and fever. If yphoid is not treated it leads to many complications. 7. African trypanosomiasis Caused by Tsetse fly, African trypanosomiasis is normally known as the ‘sleeping sickness’. As the name implies it is found in African countries and attacks in two stages these include, neurological stage and hemolytic stage. During the Neurological stage the person undergoes a sleep disorder which is due to the organism’s entrance in the brain, whereas in Hemolytic stage the person suffers from joint pains, fever and itching. 6. Pneumonia The swelling of the lungs is known as Pneumonia which can be caused by many reasons, infection being one of those. Some of the common viruses that cause pneumonia are rhizo virus, corona virus, Respiratory syncytial virus etc. Pneumonia can be treated through antibiotics and vaccines. 5. Tuberculosis Tuberculosis is transmitted through air diffusion to the other person by a person’s cough, who is suffering from Tuberculosis. The reasons of the infection are Mycobacterium species and mostly M.tuberculosis. The disease infects when the bacterial infection is high or when the immune system of the prey is weak. As for the symptoms the patient suffers from body aches, coughs, fever, loss of weight and weakness. 4. Hepatitis Hepatitis is basically the swelling of the liver, which can be caused by virus and or toxins as well. The patient in this kind of disease becomes weak, loses weight and becomes pale. There are five types of Hepatitis which are; A, B, C, D, E from which the most common are A, B and C. A is spread through the oral route (eating and drinking), B is through blood or sexual act and C when persistently present can result to carcinoma liver. Hepatitis at all stages has vaccines as a treatment. 3. Malaria A common virus among the people today is Malaria which is caused by a female anopheles mosquito. The symptoms of Malaria are fever, back ache and weakness. The reason due to which Malaria spreads through is Plasmodium genus and its species are P.ovale, P.malariae, P. vivax etc. a course is provided to the person who has the disease but if left untreated it can cause some serious problems and complications in the body, whereas now a pre-course is also available to prevent Malaria. 2. Influenza What we commonly call ‘Flu’ is actually known as ‘Influenza’ which is caused by influenza virus. The patients suffer from chills, fever, body aches and cough. Flu is transmitted by nasal secretions, cough or bird droppings. The two types Influenza are Influenza A and Influenza B, Trivalent vaccine is given to the patient in disease. 1. HIV-Aids The most dangerous and appalling infection in the world is HIV/Aids. The cause of the disease is Immunodeficiency virus, which enters the human body to weaken the immune system and give ways to other infections to enter the body and affect it. It can be transmitted through, sexual intercourse, from mother while birth, breast feeding, unsterilized injections and blood transferring. The most frightening thing is that the disease does not have a complete medication course, leaving the patient to die at any stage.
