Ha complain that infectious patients

Infectious diseases with general toxic symptoms
The vast majority of infectious patients complaining of general malaise, weakness, fatigue, feeling aches in the whole body, muscle pain, joint pain, sleep disturbance, and almost always a headache.
The intensity of these infectious patient suffering depends primarily on the nature, severity and form of the disease.
Headache from infectious diseases can be of different nature: aching, throbbing, persistent, diffuse, etc ..
Sometimes the headache is combined with dizziness, vomiting, not bringing relief. Throbbing headache, often without specific localization.
All these signs of infectious disease are common manifestations of the disease, signs (syndrome) the general infectious intoxication. An important rule is that no manifestations of the general infectious intoxication can not be an infectious disease. The objective criterion for the general infectious intoxication is fever, increased body temperature.
Febrile patients complained of fever or the presence of chills, hot flashes, increased sweating. The systematic (morning and evening), body temperature measurement draws attention to the type of fever (temperature, altitude, its daily fluctuations, the duration of fever, etc.). A certain type of fever (temperature curve) is typical for certain infectious diseases and carries valuable information. Therefore, all infectious patients who are being treated at home and, especially, in the hospital, the body temperature is measured at least 2 times (morning and evening). House of the patient's body temperature is recorded on a separate sheet, then to provide these informative data doctor.
Most infectious diseases occurs with fever above 37,0o C. However, there are diseases where intoxication (general weakness, muscle weakness, weakness, cold sweats, etc.) is very pronounced, and even reduced (below the body temperature of 36, 6 ° C) - botulism food poisoning toxins (poisons) of some bacteria.
Thus, with an increase in body temperature can with certainty assume that it is a contagious disease and to carry out appropriate measures and treatment. As the infection start to show signs of a primary lesion of an organ.

Signs lesions of the gastrointestinal tract
Patients with acute intestinal diarrheal (with diarrhea), in addition to fever disease often complain of vomiting (as a manifestation of acute lesions of the stomach), chair disorder. The nature of the chair may be very different depending on the agent of infectious disease.
On examination, the chair draws attention to the number of stool, their color, consistency, presence of pathological impurities - mucus, blood, pus, films. Important degree of liquefaction (watery, nekalovy, liquid fecal mushy) chair. Abundant, beskalovy a whitish turbid liquid stool is cholera.
In acute intestinal diarrheal diseases in many cases, even in the hospital cause of the disease (the pathogen) can not be established. Therefore, some basic sets of signs (syndromes) is isolated in the clinical picture of the disease. On the basis of the prevailing syndromes and exhibiting clinical diagnosis based on lesion of different parts of the gastrointestinal tract: gastritis (stomach disease), enteritis (lesion of the small intestine), colitis (colon damage).
