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.
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 (a lung infection), bacteremia (a bloodstream infection), epiglottitis (a throat infection), or meningitis (an inflammation of the lining of the brain and spinal cord).
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.
Poliomyelitis (Polio): It is a viral disease that mainly damages the nerves in the brainstem or spinal cord that control muscle movement. In its most severe form, polio can result in irreversible paralysis, leaving a person unable to move certain limbs. It can also cause breathing difficulties and, in some cases, may be fatal.
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, fatigue, fever, light-coloured stools, dark urine, joint and muscle pain, and yellowing of the 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.
Pertussis (Whooping Cough): It is a highly contagious disease caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis. 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.
