Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Diphtheria: It is a contagious infection caused by a type of bacteria called Corynebacterium diphtheriae. It creates a thick layer of dead tissue in the nose or throat, making it hard to swallow and breathe. Other symptoms include swollen glands in the neck, weakness, fever, and a sore throat. It causes serious problems like lung infections, paralysis, or even death. The best way to avoid it is by getting the child vaccinated.
Haemophilus Influenzae Type B (Hib): It is a life-threatening bacterial infection that mainly affects children under 5 years of age. It can cause serious illnesses such as pneumonia (lung infection), bacteremia (bloodstream infection), epiglottitis (throat infection), or meningitis (inflammation of the lining of the spinal cord and brain). The bacteria spread when an infected person sneezes or coughs. Vaccination is the best way to protect children from Hib.
Hepatitis B: It is a severe liver disease caused by the Hepatitis B virus (HBV). Acute (short-term) HBV infection can cause loss of appetite, tiredness, fever, light-colored stools, dark urine, joint and muscle pain, and yellow eyes or skin (jaundice). Chronic (long-term) HBV infection can lead to serious liver damage, such as liver failure, cirrhosis, or cancer. The virus spreads through blood, sexual contact, or from mother to baby during birth. Vaccination is the best way to prevent it.
Pertussis (Whooping Cough): It is a highly contagious disease caused by the Bordetella pertussis bacteria. It starts with a runny nose, cough, and fever, but can develop into severe coughing fits followed by a high-pitched 'whoop' sound. Babies with whooping cough can face serious complications like seizures, pneumonia, or brain damage. The best way to prevent it is by getting the child vaccinated.
Tetanus (Lockjaw): It is caused by the bacteria Clostridium tetani. The main symptom is painful tightness in the jaw muscles (known as lockjaw), which makes it hard to open your mouth, swallow, or breathe. Other symptoms include fever, sweating, headache, seizures, muscle stiffness, and high blood pressure. It can cause serious complications like paralysis and death. There is no cure for tetanus, but vaccination can prevent it.
