Educational video describing the condition of rat bite fever.

Rat-bite fever is an illness caused from bacteria transmitted by rodents. The condition goes by many names but it is typically transmitted by a rat. The disease can be passed from the urine or feces of an infected rodent but it is typically caused due to the animal’s bite. The bacteria responsible for rat-bite fever is found in the mouth, nose and respiratory tract of many rats and sometimes infection from the bite can be fatal. It is rare disease typically spread by infected rodents however pets such as dogs or cats that are exposed to these animals can also carry the disease and infect humans.
There are two types of gram-negative bacteria that can cause the infection: streptobacillosis moniliformis and spirillum minus.
Symptoms occur 3-10 days after exposure, however they can be delayed up to several weeks. Symptoms include: chills/fever, headache, muscle aches, vomiting, painful swelling of the joints (polyarthralgia), fatigue, rash. Symptoms are nonspecific and can be confused with other diseases. It is a difficult diagnosis and the diagnosis could be delayed. Here is a patient MRI of the right side shoulder. The patient had documented infection of the right shoulder proven to be caused by rat-bite fever. The patient had incision and drainage of the right shoulder.
Treatment is usually penicillin or its derivative. A good prevention program to avoid exposure to infected animals. The mortality rate is about 13% if not treated.
The CDC states that those at higher risk of contracting the illness are people with pet rats or those who work with rats in laboratories, pet stores or people who live in rat-infested buildings. People who handle rodents or clean up after them should wash their hands regularly, as well as wear protective gloves and avoid placing their hands to the mouth after being in contact with rodents. All rodents are potential carriers of the bacteria. Children under the age of 5, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems should consider not having a rat as a pet.

5 Diseases Transmitted By Rodents Within the Home

1. Leptospirosis
Leptospirosis is a bacterial disease spread by rodents as well as other animals.
This disease is usually transmitted through food or water that has been contaminated by urine from infected animals.

The symptoms of the disease when left unchecked can be life-threatening.
Some symptoms include:
– Kidney damage
– Liver failure
– Meningitis
– Or even death.

2. Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome
Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome is transmitted through a virus. It’s a rat-borne disease common throughout North and South America.

Ways of infection:

– Direct contact with rodents and their urine or feces.
– Through bites from rodents.
– Breathe with dust contaminated by rodent feces or urine

3. Lymphocytic Chorio-meningitis (LCMV)
This disease is spread by a viral agent in infected rodent populations, specifically the house mouse (Mus musculus).
Spread through direct contact with the mouse’s urine or droppings, bites or inhalation of contaminated dust.

4. Rat-bite Fever

This rodent-borne disease is caused by a bacterium. Like many other diseases transmitted by rodents, rat-bite. The symptoms of the disease include fever, vomiting, headaches, muscle pain, joint pain and rash. If left untreated, the disease can lead to death.

Fever occurs through bites and scratches from infected rodent populations or direct contact with contaminated water or food. When it occurs due to the consumption of contaminated food, rat-bite fever is often called Haverhill fever.

5. Salmonellosis
Salmonellosis occurs worldwide and is spread through both rats and mice. Sometimes called Salmonella which is also the name of the bacteria through which it is spread. Victims usually infected through eating contaminated food.

Symptoms of this disease include diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever.

To avoid Salmonellosis, reduce your risk of consuming contaminated food or water. Eradicate rodents in your home and also look for signs of rats or mice infestation throughout the year.

How is periodontal disease treated? Periodontitis and its influence on health.

This 3D video from Clínica Médico Dental Pardiñas (http://j.mp/cPardinas) explains the periodontal disease (periodontitis) and its relationship with the rest of the human body. It is shown how tartar accumulates on the teeth and how bacteria present in it can spread throughout the bloodstream. This is especially important in patients with heart problems, or that have received a valve replacement or transplantation. These bacteria can reach the heart valves and adhere to them, causing an infection called endocarditis.

Surgical treatment with different instruments and the resolution of the disease is also shown.

Periodontitis results in the destruction of the bone holding the tooth in place, causing all of the teeth to be lost if it is not treated in time. It appears as inflamed gums with presence of periodontal pockets (that form beneath the gum), which can be detected using a small probe that measures the distance between the gum and the bone, the mobility or exposure of the root of the tooth. Periodontitis is very rare in children and adolescents (1 case in every 10,000). However, its frequency increases with age (10% between 30-40 years old; 25%-30% between 50-60 years old).

Symptoms include: gums separated from the teeth, bleeding, bad breath, tooth mobility, receding gums, etc. When bone resorbs, a space between the gums and bone starts to create, this is called periodontal pocket. Here bacteria accumulate, proliferate and the patient can no longer sanitize properly.
To address this problem, it is necessary to eliminate the calculus, both superficial and deeper, and reshape the gum to remove the periodontal pocket, leaving the gum at the bone level. For this purpose, various instruments such as curettes and ultrasounds are used.
The objective is to remove all plaque and damaged tissue, leaving the tooth free of plaque and tartar.
After this procedure, the gums may retract, and the roots of the teeth may be exposed, which can cause sensitivity and aesthetic problems. What is achieved with this procedure is not regain the lost bone, but slow the progression of the disease, getting a state of health of the gums and eliminating periodontal pockets, so that the patient can have a good oral hygiene.

What is the cause of periodontal disease (periodontitis)?
It is caused by bacteria that accumulate in tartar and dental plaque, which sticks around the teeth and that if we do not eliminate, they get inserted between the tooth and the gum. These bacteria create toxins that damage and develop an infectious inflammatory process, which involves the destruction of the tissues that support the teeth. There must also be a predisposing individual (genetic) factor that is key, and that is what explains that patients with very little tartar can develop an aggressive periodontal disease, and vice versa, patients with a lot of tartar hardly have bone losses in the jaws.

Gum disease – aka “periodontal disease” aka “periodontitis”– is the most common reason behind adult tooth loss. The number one reason people lose their teeth is not because of cavities – its because of gum disease. Let’s talk about how to treat gum disease!

Gum disease is preventable, but only if you catch it in the earliest stage of gingivitis. Once more aggressive periodontal disease kicks in, you’ll require professional treatment to prevent tooth loss.

The severity of your gum disease can put your health at risk. As medical issues and periodontitis go hand in hand, it’s crucial to treat them together instead of as two separate issues.

Treating gum disease starts at home with good daily brushing and flossing, followed up with professional cleanings with your hygienist.

EB – Epidermolysis Bullosa is a rare genetic condition casing a person skin to be very delicate. where even a simple seem can cause blistering to occur. Those affected must have their entire body continuously wrapped in bandages. But researchers at the University of Minnesota have discovered a cure.

Physicians at the University of Minnesota and University of Minnesota Childrens Hospital, Fairview have set the path to a cure for a young boys fatal genetic skin disease, recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB), by using a cord blood and bone marrow transplant. Nate Liao, a 25-month-old from Clarksburg, New Jersey, underwent the experimental therapy in October 2007.

What is EB?

Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) is a rare genetic skin disorder that causes the skin to be so fragile that the slightest friction can cause severe blistering – inside and outside the body. It is present in 1 out of every 50,000 live births in the US. It can occur in every racial and ethnic group, and affects both sexes equally. There is currently no cure, and the research is on-going. Severe forms of EB cause patients to live with constant pain and scarring. The worst forms of EB lead to eventual disfigurement, disability and often early death. There are many patients who are diagnosed with milder forms, which, while they can be extremely difficult to live with, are non-disfiguring and non-lethal.

What is DebRA of America?

The Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa Research Association of America (DebRA), was founded over 30 years ago in New York City and is the only national nonprofit organization dedicated to funding research and providing supportive services and programs for those with Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) — The Worst Disease You’ve Never Heard Of.™ Some of the programs and services we provide are; wound care supplies shipped directly to patients, an EB Nurse Educator, education, new family packages, and money for research towards finding a cure for EB. There is currently no cure, and the research is on-going. Treatment is supportive and includes daily wound care, bandaging, and pain management. For more information, visit debra.org
