Atypical Pneumonia $95.59 Atypical pneumonia is a pneumonia not caused by one of the more traditional pathogens. It can be caused by a variety of microorganisms. When developed independently from another disease it is called Primary Atypical Pneumonia. The term was introduced in the 1930s and was contrasted with the bacterial pneumonia caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, at that time the best known and most occurring form of pneumonia. Distinction between atypical and typical pneumonia, however, is medically insufficient. For the treatment of pneumonia it is important to know the exact causing organism. Moreover, S. pneumoniae has become a relatively lesser important cause Author: Miller, Frederic P./ Vandome, Agnes F./ McBrewster, John Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 128 Publication Date: 2010/04/29 Language: English Dimensions: 5.98 x 9.01 x 0.30 inches |

Kawasaki Disease $71.7 Kawasaki disease is a disease, largely of infants, which affects many organs, including the skin, mucous membranes, lymph nodes, and blood vessel walls, but the most serious effect is on the heart where it can cause severe aneurysmal dilations. Without treatment, mortality may approach 1, usually within 6 weeks of onset. With treatment, the mortality rate is less than 0.01 in the U.S. There is often a preexisting viral infection that may play some role in pathogenesis. The conjunctival and oral mucosa, along with the epidermis, become erythmatous. Edema is often seen in the hands and feet and the cervical lymph nodes are often enlarged. Also, some degree of fever is often noted. It was first described in 1967 by Dr. Tomisaku Kawasaki in Japan Author: Miller, Frederic P./ Vandome, Agnes F./ McBrewster, John Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 96 Publication Date: 2010/04/29 Language: English Dimensions: 5.98 x 9.01 x 0.22 inches |
