Disseminated disease refers to a diffuse disease process, generally either infectious or neoplastic, but sometimes also referring to connective tissue disease.
Disseminated Disease: Disease in which the lymphoma cells have spread from the lymph nodes or site of origin to other lymph nodes or organs.
Late disseminated disease and chronic Lyme disease
Weeks, months, or even years after an untreated tick bite, symptoms can appear in several forms, including: ...
Early disseminated disease (may occur in various combinations)
Rash: multiple EM
Flulike illness with fevers, chills, fatigue
Neurologic: facial weakness or paralysis, headache and stiff neck, painful or weak limb, dysesthesias ...
Disseminated disease can occur within weeks of the primary infection, or may lie inactive for years before causing illness. Infants, the elderly, those infected with HIV.
In disseminated disease, infection may spread to the bones, lungs, liver, lining covering the brain and spinal cord (meninges), brain, skin, heart, and the sac around the heart (pericardium).
In disseminated disease, extension of infection to the bones, lungs, liver, meninges, brain, skin, heart, and pericardium (sac around the heart) may take place.
Any of the following may be symptoms: ...
CNS DISSEMINATED DISEASE:
In children with disseminated disease, long-term survivors have been reported and aggressive therapy is warranted.
Early disseminated disease - During early disseminated Lyme disease, the bacteria spread through the bloodstream to other areas of the body, triggering inflammation in specific tissues.
Neonatal disseminated disease
Labial: Recurrent, almost universal
Gingivostomatitis: Frequent in infants and children ...
Symptoms of disseminated disease include cough, haemoptysis, weight loss, wheezing, fever, chills, haematuria and decreased urine output. Treatment is with amphotericin B. Not transmissible from human to animals or animals to human.
Lyme disease is medically described in three phases as: (a) Early localized disease with skin inflammation (b) Early disseminated disease with heart and nervous system involvement, ...
Stage two - early disseminated disease
This may develop in untreated people weeks or months after the bite. Symptoms are variable but can include one or more of the following: ...
rare fungal infection that primarily affects the immunocompromised host as part of a disseminated disease. The common pathway for the fungus to reach the central nervous system is haematogenous dissemination from extracranial foci, usually the lungs.
For that reason, it's not a good choice in cases of disseminated disease where delayed treatment may prove fatal.
Fungal stain.
Eventually, most patients with epidemic KS develop disseminated disease.
In people with weakened immune systems, Acanthamoeba can also cause skin lesions and/or disseminated disease (though the former do not always lead to the latter).
Granulomatous amebic encephalitis and disseminated disease: Acanthamoeba is ubiquitous; most persons are exposed to this organism.
SALMONELLA
A ubiquitous family of bacteria, salmonella can cause serious disseminated disease in HIV positive patients.
SALVAGE THERAPY
A treatment used when the usual treatment(s) have failed. A last ditch option.
Mild cases resolve without treatment. Severe cases of acute histoplasmosis and all cases of chronic and disseminated disease are treated with antifungal medications, usually for life in those with compromised immune systems.
The origin or centre of a disseminated disease
Forced Vital Capacity (FVC)
The amount of (volume) of air exhaled when the person is breathing out with maximum effort ...
Approximately 10% of cases with uncomplicated pneumonia are fatal. The case-fatality rate increases with overwhelming infection, disseminated disease, or brain abscess. Surgical drainage may be indicated and may improve patient outcome.
Individuals who have HIV infection or are undergoing immunosuppressive therapy have a higher risk of developing systemic symptoms (disseminated disease). However, neither form of the infection is life threatening.
Stage IV: Lymphoma is called stage IV if there is disseminated (multifocal) involvement, meaning that the lymphoma has spread throughout multiple areas. Common sites for disseminated disease are the liver, bone marrow, or lungs.
Salmonella: A family of bacteria, found in undercooked poultry or eggs, that are a common cause of food poisoning, and that can cause serious disseminated disease in HIV positive persons.
...
The outcome in acute disease is likely to be good. With treatment, the outcome is usually good for chronic or severe disease (although relapses may occur). People with disseminated disease have a high death rate.
The clinical features of aspergillosis can include invasive lung infection and disseminated disease, usually with fever, cough, spitting up blood, and chest pain.
Disseminated disease -- sometimes the Gonorrhea may spread to the rest of the body, causing diffuse joint pain/stiffness, fever, and diffuse rash. Very rarely, Meningitis can occur.
Conjunctivitis -- an infection and inflammation in the eye.
