e - reactivation of VZV

s - tingling, prickle, numbness, blisters in bandlike pattern, chills, fever, abdominal cramping

Massase: Postpose until healing (after healing, avoid area)

23
Q

Nail fungus (Tinea unguium onychomycosis)

Study These Flashcards
A

FUNGAL

d - Nail fungus that causes infection

e - fungi called dermatophytes, yeast, mold, weak immune system, poor circulation, diabetes

Massage: Avoid affected areas

24
Q

Fungal (notes)

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Only a few are pathogenic
  • Prefer warm, moist environment
  • Opportunistic infections
25
Remission
Clinical manifestations diminish or disappear
26
Exacerbation
Clinical manifestations become worse or more severe
27
Ringworm (tinea corporis)
FUNGAL d - fungal infection transmitted by direct contact with infected skin or infected domestic animals e - caused by fungi species dermatophytes s - red, raised, round/oval scaling. May itch, burn, ooze. MASSAGE: If widespread, POSTPONE. If localized, avoid affected area.
28
Dermatome
Cutaneous area innervated by a spinal nerve
29
Scleroderma
Inflammatory d - sclerosis of the skin - overproduction of collagen. Fibrosis may be localized and superficial or deep and systemic. e - unknown, but the immune response may play a part s - Skin appears hard and shiny, stretched across bones. Tight skin. Hands may be red and swollen. Weakness and fatigue are present as it progresses. MASSAGE: CAN and should be performed. Restrict to 30 minutes if the person is fatigued.
30
7 types of disease
1. Viral 2. Bacterial 3. Fungal 4. Localized 5. Systemic 6. Acute 7. Chronic
31
Virus (definition)
Non-living entity. Depends on a host cell
32
Herpes Simplex (cold sore)
VIRUS d - Recurrent viral infection. Skin and mucous membranes. e - Herpes simplex I - most common (lip) s - Tingly or burning sensation; painful, fluid-filled vesicles. *MASSAGE: Avoid affected area. Sanitize face rest.
33
Host defenses
Can be: Non-specific - Barriers (intact skin, etc), chemicals (digestive, enzymes, etc.), or reflexes (cough, sneeze, etc) Specific - Immune responses to the pathogen
34
Cellulitis
BACTERIAL d - Infection of the skin (usually subcutaneous). Can spread to the bloodstream (bacteremia) e - Most common causes are streptococcus and staphylococcus. Also can be MRSA risk. *Cancer treatments* s - Swelling, redness, abscess, warm, tender. Proximal to infection site or along lymphatic vessels. Red lines/streaks. MASSAGE: If widespread, POSTPONE. If localized, avoid the area.
35
Complications
Conditions that arise after the onset of the original disease
36
Reservoir
Source of infection
37
Bacteria (definition)
Single-celled organisms, non-pathogenic, do not require living tissue
38
Varicella (chicken pox)
VIRUS d - Acute viral infection common in children and young adults - highly contagious e - Caused by varicella-zoster virus (herpes virus group) s - Headaches, loss of appetite, mild fever, rash (fluid-filled blisters) MASSAGE: POSTPONE!
39
MRSA
Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus Caused by antibiotic resistant staph infection. Spread by direct infection. *SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION*
40
Malignant Melanoma
d - develops from melanocytes located in basal layer, or from benign melanocytic moles (nevi). Responsible for most skin cancer deaths. Grows quickly, metastasizes. s - Newly pigmented skin or mole. Changes in moles. MASSAGE: Ask about current signs/symptoms/treatments. *AVOID AREAS* No lower extremities massaged for 10 days after surgery /10 ambulatory days
41
Chain of infection
1 - Pathogen 2. Reservoir 3. Portal of entry 4. Transmission 5. Portal of exit
42
Basal cell carcinoma
d - Arises in basal (deepest) layer of skin. Most common (75%) form of skin cancer. Least dangerous. Grows slowly, doesn't spread easily. Recurs if incompletely excises. 70% on face. s - Elevated, firm nodule, pearly ivory with central depression. May later ulcerate, ooze, and bleed. MASSAGE: Ask about current signs/symptoms/treatments. *AVOID AREAS* No lower extremities massaged for 10 days after surgery /10 ambulatory days
43
Bacterial conditions include
Folliculitis Boil Cellulitis MRSA
44
Fomite
Inanimate object
45
Folliculitis
BACTERIAL d - inflammation of hair follicles e - follicular invasion by staphylococci, yeasts, or fungi. Irritation, moisture, skin conditions (lupus) s - Pustular rash, redness - may resemble acne MASSAGE: Avoid affected area
46
Athlete's foot (Tinea pedis)
FUNGAL d - fungal infection of the foot. Often the sole and toes e - fungi called dermatophytes. Like heat and moisture. s - Itchy, scaling, burning sensation. Redness, flaking, cracking, oozing, bleeding. MASSAGE: Avoid infected areas. SANITIZE LINENS.
47
Wart (verruca)
VIRUS d - rough, raised mass. Viral induced cell growth (often on hands, feet, face, legs, genitals) e - caused by strains of HPV s - Rough, raised, lighter or darker than skin. Small, clotted vessels. MASSAGE: Avoid infected area. *SANITIZE*
48
Hives (urticaria)

Mostly acute, under 24 hours, lesions can appear anywhere e - Most often caused by allergies, food, insect bites/stings, medications. Other causes - cold temperatures; stress s - Sever itching, raised red welts (wheals), redness (red flare), angioedema in 40% of cases MASSAGE: Postpone in acute cases. If chronic, avoid the affected areas.
49
Etiology
Causative factors or origins of disease
50
Disease Transmission
* Contact - Direct (physical contact) or Indirect (fomite or droplet) * Vehicle Transmission - Foodborne, Waterborne, Airborne * Vector Transmission - Usually animal or insect
51
Cautionary Sites
Massaged vigorously or prolonged can have a negative impact on the client
52
Boil (Furuncle)
BACTERIAL d - deeply infected hair follicles. Occur often on face, neck, back, gluteus, and thighs.
