| 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. |

| 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) |

| bladder infection | Some people are at more risk for bladder and other urinary tract infections (UTIs) than others. One woman in five develops a UTI during her lifetime. Not everyone with a UTI has symptoms. Common symptoms include a frequent urge to urinate and a painful, burning when urinating. Underlying conditions that impair the normal urinary flow can lead to more complicated UTIs. (12 Dec 1998) |
| breast infection | <microbiology> Inflammation of the breast tissue most often caused by a bacterial infection. Staphylococcus is the most common organism. This breast infection is seen most commonly in the immediate postpartum period (during breast-feeding). Treatment includes warm wet compresses to the site and oral antibiotics. (27 Sep 1997) |
| parasitic infection | <microbiology> A successful invasion of a host by an organism that uses the host for food and shelter. (27 Sep 1997) |
| germinal infection | Infection of a baby with a disease by way of a parent's gamete (sperm or ovum). (09 Oct 1997) |
| mass infection | Infection resulting from the entrance of a large number of pathogens into the circulation or tissues. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Vincent's infection | An acute or recurrent gingivitis of young and middle-aged adults characterised clinically by gingival erythema and pain, fetid odour, and necrosis and sloughing of interdental papillae and marginal gingiva which gives rise to a gray pseudomembrane; fever, regional lymphadenopathy, and other systemic manifestations also may be present. A fusiform bacillus and Treponema vincentii can be isolated from the gingival tissues in large numbers and are felt to play a significant but poorly defined role in the pathogenesis. Synonym: fusospirochetal gingivitis, trench mouth, ulceromembranous gingivitis, Vincent's disease, Vincent's infection. (05 Mar 2000) |
| viral infection | The successful invasion, establishment and growth of viruses in the tissues of the host. (27 Sep 1997) |
| reservoir of infection | Living or nonliving material in or on which an infectious agent multiplies and/or develops and is dependent for its survival in nature. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chronic symptomatic HIV infection | 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) |
| close contact infection | <epidemiology> An infection which requires close contact, other than sexual contact, between susceptible and infectious individuals, for transmission. (05 Dec 1998) |
| mixed infection | Infection by more than one variety of pathogenic microorganisms. (05 Mar 2000) |
| whipworm infection | <gastroenterology> An infection of the large intestine by Trichuris trichiura. It may be the most common helminthic infection found in Americans returning from subtropical and tropical areas. Children and the mentally retarded have the highest rate of infection due to a general lack of sanitary habits. The worms are 30-50 mm in length and attach themselves to the mucosa of the large intestine. Adult worms may live 4-8 years. Treatment is with mebendazole. (27 Sep 1997) |
| multi-infection | Mixed infection with two or more varieties of microorganisms developing simultaneously. (05 Mar 2000) |
| congenital infection: torchs syndrome | <radiology> T Toxoplasma, R Rubella, C Cytomegalic inclusion disease (CID, CMV), H Herpes, S Syphilis, transplacentally acquired, congenital infection, celery-stalk metaphyses, especially long bones, intracranial calcification, decreased growth, vascular stenosis (aorta, pulmonary artery) (12 Dec 1998) |
