| 설명 | 어떤 병원체의 감염에 의하여 본인의 저항력이 약해졌을 때 몸의 다른 부위로 전이하여 다시 감염을 일으키는 것. 병원체가 인체에 침입하여 특정한 기관이나 조직에서 병원체가 증식하고, 그곳에 특유의 병터를 일으키는 것이 1차감염 또는 초감염이다. 이 1차감염의 병터의 병원체가 혈관-림프관-기관-소화관-요관 등의 길을 따라 같은 기관의 다른 부위나 다른 기관으로 운반되어 감염을 일으킨다. 따라서 1차감염에 의하여 충분한 면역이 될 경우에는 2차감염이 일어나지 않는다. 예를 들어, 유행성 감기에 걸렸을 때 세균에 의한 폐렴이 뒤따르는 경우를 이른다. 폐렴균, 화농알균, 대장균 따위가 있다. |

| oasthouse urine disease | An inherited metabolic defect in the absorption of methionine which is converted by intestinal bacteria to alpha-hydroxybutyric acid; characterised by diarrhoea, tachypnea, and marked urinary excretion of alpha-hydroxybutyric acid (causing an odour like that of an oasthouse). Origin: oast, kiln for drying hops, malt, or tobacco (05 Mar 2000) |
| febrile urine | Dark coloured, concentrated urine of strong odour, passed by one suffering from fever. Synonym: feverish urine. (05 Mar 2000) |

| urine | <physiology> In mammals, a fluid excretion from the kidneys; in birds and reptiles, a solid or semisolid excretion. In man, the urine is a clear, transparent fluid of an amber colour and peculiar odour, with an average density of 1.02. The average amount excreted in 24 hours is from 40 to 60 ounces (about 1,200 cubic centimeters). Chemically, the urine is mainly an aqueous solution of urea, salt (sodium chloride), and uric acid, together with some hippuric acid and peculiar pigments. It usually has an acid reaction, owing to the presence of acid phosphates of soda or free uric acid. Normally, it contains about 960 parts of water to 40 parts of solid matter, and the daily average excretion is 35 grams (540 grains) of urea.75 gram (11 grains) of uric acid, and 16.5 grams (260 grains) of salt. Abnormally, it may contain sugar as in diabetes, albumen as in Bright's disease, bile pigments as in jaundice, or abnormal quantities of some one or more of the normal constituents. Origin: F. Urine, L. Urina; akin to urinari to plunge under water, to dive, Gr. Urine; cf. Skr. Var water, Icel. R drizzling rain, AS. Waer the sea. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| urine catecholamine | A test that measures the level of catecholamines or their metabolites in the urine. A 24 hour urine sample is necessary for this assay. Elevations may be seen in pheochromocytoma or neuroblastoma. Normal urine levels of adrenaline should be: 0.5 to 20 mcg/ml and normal urine levels of noradrenaline should be 15 to 80 mcg/ml. (27 Sep 1997) |
| urine immunofixation | A special laboratory technique that is used to identify specific proteins in the blood or urine. It has greatest application in the identification (and monitoring) of monoclonal proteins that are produced in conditions like Waldenstom's macroglobulinaemia and multiple myeloma. (27 Sep 1997) |
| urine metanephrine | A test that measures the level of catecholamines or their metabolites in the urine. A 24 hour urine sample is necessary for this assay. Elevations may be seen in pheochromocytoma or neuroblastoma. Normal urine levels of adrenaline should be: 0.5 to 20 mcg/ml and normal urine levels of noradrenaline should be 15 to 80 mcg/ml.

| agonal infection | An acute infection, commonly pneumonic or septic, occurring toward the end of any disease and often the cause of death. Synonym: agonal infection. (05 Mar 2000) |
| airborne infection | A mechanism of transmission of an infectious agent by particles, dust, or droplet nuclei suspended in the air. (05 Mar 2000) |
| apical infection | Implantation of microorganisms at the apex of a tooth, usually the result of the migration of microorganisms from the pulp canal through the apical foramen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| arbovirus infection | <virology> A type of viral infection that is transmitted by mosquitoes in late spring to early autumn. One manifestation is encephalitis (central nervous system infection). (27 Sep 1997) |
| ascariasis infection | <microbiology> Infection by the nematode Ascaris lumbricoides and is characterised by an early pulmonary phase related to larval migration and a later, prolonged intestinal phase. Adult worms are 15-40 cm in length and maintain themselves in the lumen of the small intestine. Infection occurs after ingesting eggs contained in contaminated food or more commonly, by transmission to the mouth by the hands after contact with contaminated soil. Treatment is with mebendazole or pyrantel pamoate. (27 Sep 1997) |
| atypical mycobacterial infection | <microbiology> Infection with organisms from the Mycobacterium genus other than tuberculosis. Risk factors include immunocompromised patients and those with AIDS. Mycobacterium avium intracellulare is an example which frequently infects AIDS patients. Atypical mycobacterial infections can cause abscesses, septic arthritis and osteomyelitis. Treatment can be difficult due to the emergence of resistance to standard antitubercular antibiotics. (27 Sep 1997) |
| bacterial infection | <microbiology> Bacteria are group of micro-organisms that are a single cell approximately 1 micron in transverse diameter. Some bacteria cause disease in man, requiring treatment with an antibiotic. (27 Sep 1997) |
