What are the 3 levels of infection control
1. ) SANITATION 2. ) DISINFECTION 3. ) STERILIZATION
28
What is the most important thing we do as estheticians
Describes efforts to prevent the spread of disease and kill microbes
29
What type of immunity uses the skin and white blood cells
Partially inherited, natural resistance to disease
30
What type of immunity uses vaccines
Passive (acquired) Immunity Occurs through vaccinations to stimulate the body's immune response
31
What 2 ways we fight infection?
1. ) Natural Immunity | 2. ) passive (acquired) immunity
32
immunity
The body's ability to destroy infectious agents that enter it
33
A symptomatic carrier
Carries disease producing bacteria or viruses with no recognizable symptoms
34
What type of infection reaches the whole body
General infection Occurs when circulatory system carries bacteria and toxins to all parts of the body
35
What type of infection has small pus-filled lesions
Local infection In a small, confined area pus-filled boil, pimple or inflammation
36
What are 2 classes of infection
1. ) Local Infection = little area | 2. ) General Infection = giant area
37
Tubercilosis
Contagious and potentially fatal infection caused by airborne bacteria affecting the lungs, lymph and organs
38
What type of infection interferes with the body's normal state?
INFECTIOUS DISEASE Caused by pathogenic bacteria or viruses that interfere with the body's normal state. Transferred by infected people through bodily fluids or contact Aids, Hep B, Herpes, measles and mumps
39
What type of infection is caused by casual contact?
CONTAGIOUS INFECTIONS AKA communicible diseases Caused by airborne pathogens and casual contact ( chicken pox, common cold, herpes, influenza, measles and tuberculosis)
40
Blood borne pathogens
Includes HIV and HBV Transmitted through blood and body fluids that cause infectious diseases
41
What microorganism causes infections?
PATHOGENS Micro organisms that cause infection. ( Viruses, Bacteria, Protozoa, and Fungi)
42
Infection
Growth of a parasitic organism
43
What causes ringworm and scabies?
EXTERNAL PARASITES Organisms that grow and feed on others. ``` Head lice= pediculosis capitis Itch mites= scabies { parasite animals} Ringworm= tinea capitis Honey comb ringworm= favus Nail fungus { parasite plants, fungus & molds} ```
44
What virus causes the body's immune system to break down?
ACQUIRED IMMUNODEFICIENCY SYNDROME (AIDS) Highly infectious disease caused by HIV. Interference with the body's natural immune system and causes it to break Spread by blood or bodily fluids ( blood, semen, vaginal fluids and breast milk)
45
What disease affects the liver
HEPATITIS B VIRUS Highly infectious disease affecting the liver
46
What stage does bacteria create a spore that is resistant to disinfectants?
INACTIVE STAGE Unfavorable conditions cells die or become inactive. Causes spores that are resistant to disinfectants cold or heat
47
What are the 2 growth cycles of bacteria
1. ) Active= reproduce and grow rapidly | 2. ) Inactive= Spore forming stage
48
Where does bacteria strive?

60
What bacteria is round or circular with 3 main types of groups and causes "pussie" diseases
COCCI Spherical or round shaped bacteria. Can appear singularly or in groups Most cause pus type disease
61
How and why does an infection occur?
Why: when their is an insufficient number of antibodies are produced by the bodies immune system How: enters a break in the skin or through nose, mouth eyes etc. and improper sanitation
62
What 2 viruses are life threatening and most important to estheticians
1. ) Hepatitis B virus (HBV) | 2. ) Human Immunodeficiency Virus ( HIV)
63
What type of infection requires a living host to survive
