|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 중국 광동 지역에서 가장 먼저 발생한 전염성호흡기병으로 세계보건기구(WHO)에서 ‘중증급성호흡증후군(SARS)'으로 명명했다. 섭씨 38도 이상의 고열과 기침, 호흡곤란, 저산소증, X선상의 폐렴증상 중 하나 이상의 증상이 나타나며, 두통, 근육통, 식욕부진, 피로감, 발진, 설사를 동반할 수 있다. 초기 증상은 감기와 비슷하지만 폐렴으로 발전하면 치명적일 수 있다. 현재 밝혀진 감염경로는 환자가 재채기나 기침할 때 내뿜는 침방울이고, 이것이 다른 사람의 호흡기로 들어갈 때 전염된다. 침방울이 전달되는 거리는 보통 1m로 보고 있다. 공기를 통해 전염이 가능하다는 주장이 제기됐지만 아직 확인되지 않았다. 원인균은 변종 코로나바이러스로 밝혀졌다. |

| quail bronchitis virus | A virus, similiar to an adenovirus, closely related antigenically to CELO virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| infectious avian bronchitis | A specific infectious disease of young birds, caused by infectious bronchitis virus, a member of Coronaviridae, and associated with blocking of respiratory passages by exudate; it is highly transmissible, and often causes heavy losses of young chicks and heavy production losses among older laying birds. Synonym: gasping disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| infectious bronchitis virus | An RNA virus of the family Coronaviridae and the type species of the genus Coronavirus, causing infectious avian bronchitis, being most pathogenic in chicks up to about 4 weeks of age; not to be confused with avian infectious laryngotracheitis virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| infectious bronchitis virus, avian | A species of coronavirus causing infections in chickens and possibly pheasants. Chicks up to 4 weeks old are the most severely affected. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fibrinous bronchitis | Inflammation of the bronchial mucous membrane, accompanied by a fibrinous exudation, which often forms a cast of the bronchial tree with severe obstruction of air flow. Synonym: plastic bronchitis, pseudomembranous bronchitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Streptococcus | <bacteria, organism> A genus of bacteria that are gram-positive cocci, often occurring in chains of varying length. Some pathogenic species produce exotoxins. In man, streptococcal species are responsible for numerous infections such as scarlet fever, tonsillitis, erysipelas (skin infection), endocarditis, rheumatic fever, glomerulonephritis, impetigo, pneumonia, meningitis, pharyngitis, lymphadenitis and wound infections. Streptococcus pneumoniae is the main culprit in lobar and bronchopneumonia. Streptococci have anti-phagocytic components (hyaluronic acid rich capsule and M protein) and release various toxins streptolysins O and s, erythrogenic toxin) and enzymes streptokinase, streptodornase, hyaluronidase and proteinase. Haemolytic streptococci (viridans streptococci) produce limited haemolysis on blood agar, include Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus salivarius and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Beta haemolytic streptococci, of which Streptococcus pyogenes is the only species, though there are many serotypes, produce a broad zone of almost complete haemolysis on blood agar as a result of streptolysin O and S release. Alpha streptococci are nonhaemolytic (e.g. Streptococcus faecalis). (30 Sep 1997) |
| Streptococcus acidominimus | A species found in the bovine vagina and on the skin of calves. (05 Mar 2000) |
| streptococcus agalactiae | A bacterium which causes mastitis in cattle and occasionally in man. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Streptococcus anginosus | A species found in the human throat, sinuses, abscesses, vagina, skin, and faeces; this organism has been associated with glomerular nephritis and various types of mild respiratory diseases. (05 Mar 2000) |
| streptococcus bovis | A species of gram-positive, coccoid bacteria commonly found in the alimentary tract of cows, sheep, and other ruminants. It occasionally is encountered in cases of human endocarditis. This species is nonhemolytic. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Streptococcus constellatus | A species found in tonsils, purulent pleurisy, appendix, the nose, throat, and gums, and infrequently on the skin and in the vagina. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Streptococcus durans | A species found in dried milk powder and in the intestines of humans and other animals. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Streptococcus dysgalactiae | A species causing acute mastitis in cattle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| streptococcus equi | A species of gram-positive, coccoid bacteria isolated from abscesses in submaxillary glands and mucopurulent discharges of the upper respiratory tract of horses. This organism belongs to group c streptococci with regards to antigen response and is known to cause strangles. The subspecies s. Zooepidemicus is also considered a pathogen of horses. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Streptococcus equinus | A species that is the predominant organism in the intestines of horses. (05 Mar 2000) |
