| 영문 | droplet infection | 한글 | 비말감염, 작은방울감염 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 보균자나 증상이 있는 환자 혹은 이미 감염되어 있는 사람의 호흡에서 나온 직경 10마이크론 또는 그 이하의 액체입자에 부유하고 있는 병원체의 흡입에 의한 호흡기감염을 이른다. 인플루엔자나 편도염과 같이 환자가 기침을 하거나 대화 도중에 자잘한 비말과 함께 병원균이 공기와 함께 병원균이 방출되어 공기와 함께 호흡기로 흡입됨으로써 감염되는 것을 말한다. 결핵-유행성감기-백일해-디프테리아-폐렴 등이 이에 의하여 전파된다. |

| 영문 | wound infection | 한글 | 상처감염 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 절손 등의 기계적 상해, 인위적 부상 또는 타균의 침입에 의해 상처난 조직에서 침입하여 감염시키는 것. |

| 영문 | secondary infection | 한글 | 이차감염 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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. |

| symptomatic torticollis | Stiff neck due to cervical or neck myositis, chiefly of the sternocleidomastoid, occurring especially in children. Synonym: rheumatic torticollis. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| symptomatic treatment | Therapy aimed at relieving symptoms without necessarily affecting the basic underlying cause(s) of the symptoms. (05 Mar 2000) |
| symptomatic ulcer | An ulcer due to systemic disease, such as tuberculosis. Synonym: symptomatic ulcer. (05 Mar 2000) |
| symptomatic varicocele | A varicocele caused by obstruction of the internal spermatic vein, usually at the level of the renal vein and usually due to invasive renal cell carcinoma, characterised by failure of the dilated veins in the spermatic cord to empty when the patient assumes a recumbent position. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anti-HIV agents | Agents used to treat aids and/or stop the spread of the HIV infection. These do not include drugs used to treat symptoms or opportunistic infections associated with aids. (12 Dec 1998) |
| receptors, HIV | Cellular receptors that bind the human immunodeficiency virus that causes aids. Included are CD4 antigens, found on t4 lymphocytes, and monocytes/macrophages, which bind to the HIV envelope protein gp120. (12 Dec 1998) |
| middle stage HIV disease | <disease> This refers to an HIV infection that is characterised by signs and symptoms of HIV that are not life-threatening. Examples include oral thrush, gingivitis, seborrheic dermatitis, molluscum contangiosum, fevers, fatigue, lymph node swelling, malaise and weight loss. This stage can be a signal for the conversion from asymptomatic HIV disease to HIV disease (moe pronouced symptoms include joint pains). AIDS is diagnosed after HIV disease has started to manifest life-threatening oppotunistic infections (for example pneumocystis, cryptosporidium, toxoplasmosis, etc). (27 Sep 1997) |
| HIV | <virology> A type of retrovirus (human immunodeficiency virus) that is responsible for the fatal illness acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Two strains have been identified. Type 1: the retrovirus recognised as the agent that induces AIDS. Type 2: a virus closely related to HIV-1 that also leads to immune suppression. HIV-2 is not as virulent as HIV-1 and is epidemic only in West Africa. Acronym: HIV (11 Nov 1997) |
| HIV-1 | The type species of lentivirus and widely recognised as the aetiologic agent of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (aids). It is characterised by its cytopathic effect and affinity for the t4-lymphocyte. (12 Dec 1998) |
| HIV-1 reverse transcriptase | <enzyme> HIV-1 enzyme responsible for the synthesis of DNA from genomic RNA of the virus. It is encoded by the pol gene of HIV-1. Registry number: EC 2.7.7.- (12 Dec 1998) |
| HIV-2 | An HIV species related to HIV-1 but carrying different antigenic components and with differing nucleic acid composition. It shares serologic reactivity and sequence homology with the simian lentivirus siv and infects only t4-lymphocytes expressing the CD4 phenotypic marker. (12 Dec 1998) |
| HIV-2 protease | <enzyme> Processes hiv-1pr53(gag) and analogous junction peptides in vitro; less than 60% amino acid identity to hiv-1 protease Registry number: EC 3.4.23.- Synonym: hiv2 protease (26 Jun 1999) |
| HIV-2 reverse transcriptase | <enzyme> Responsible for synthesis of double-stranded DNA from the genomic RNA of the virus; has rnase h and DNA-dependent DNA polymerase activities; was indexed as reverse transcriptase (87-91) Registry number: EC 2.7.7.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| HIV antibodies | Antibodies reactive with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV, previously called HTLV-III/lav) antigens of aids. This includes HIV-1 antibodies and HIV-2 antibodies. (12 Dec 1998) |
| HIV antigens | Antigens associated with specific proteins of the human adult T-cell immunodeficiency virus (HIV); also called HTLV-III-associated and lymphadenopathy-associated virus (lav) antigens. (12 Dec 1998) |
