ATR proteins {protective antigen} are mammalian-cell receptors that have fragments that build membrane pores. Bacteria {anthrax}| toxins can have three proteins. One protein binds to ATR protein protective antigen. Zinc protease {lethal factor} attacks kinase and lyses macrophages. Adenylate cyclases {edema factor} can inhibit phagocytosis and burst macrophages. Lethal factor and edema factor bind to pores.
Yersinia pestis bacteria {bubonic plague}| cause fever, delirium, lymph-node inflammation, and black skin spots.
Bacteria {cryptosporidium} reappeared in Wisconsin [1994].
Bacteria {diphtheria}| can cause weakness, fever, and difficult breathing as air passages fill with membrane.
Gonococcus bacteria cause urethra discharge with painful urination, abdominal pain, fever, and vomiting {gonorrhea}| {clap}. Antibiotics can treat gonorrhea.
Bacteria {Legionnaire's disease}| can get in air ducts [1977].
Bacteria can cause protein breakdown to toxic nitrogen compounds {ptomaine poisoning}|.
Children can have joint inflammation, fever, and heart damage {rheumatic fever}|.
Before fourth month of pregnancy, measles {rubella}| {German measles} can cause birth defects.
Bacteria {salmonella}| can be in bad eggs and meat.
Eyeballs can have inflammation {sclerosis}|.
Mycobacteria can cause neck lymph-gland tuberculosis {scrofula} {tuberculous adenitis} in children.
Streptococcus can cause fever and tonsil inflammation {strep throat}|.
Eye oil glands can have inflammation {sty}|.
Spirochete bacteria {syphilis}| can cause nerve-cell damage after entering blood from genitals. Bacteria make chancres 9 to 90 days after contact, cause rashes several weeks to six months later, and then can be latent for 10 to 20 years followed by blindness, heart trouble, and brain damage. Congenital syphilis can cause brain damage. People cannot become immune to syphilis. Syphilis reached Europe in 1495. Wassermann test detects syphilis. Penicillin kills syphilis bacteria.
Bacilli {tetanus, disease}| can cause rigid and spastic muscles {lockjaw}.
Toxins from local bacterial infection can enter blood {toxemia}.
Bacteria can be in uterus [1981] {toxic shock syndrome}|.
Bacteria can affect trachea {trachoma}.
Spirochete bacteria {treponema} can cause syphilis and yaws.
Food or water bacilli can cause red rash, fever, bronchitis, and internal bleeding {typhoid}|.
Bacteria {typhus rickettsia} can cause red spots and prostration {typhus}|.
Bacteria {brucellosis} can be in cattle.
Bacteria {leptospirosis} can come from dogs.
Spirochete bacteria {Lyme disease}| come from mice and deer and are in ticks [began 1982 in USA].
Perhaps, bacteria {measles}| came from cattle rinderpest.
Bacteria {psittacosis} come from chickens and parrots.
Bacteria {smallpox}| come from cowpox or other animal pox. Smallpox is extinct, except in chemical-warfare and research laboratories.
Perhaps, lung bacteria {tuberculosis}| (TB) {consumption} came from cattle. Lymphocytes and epithelioid cells form masses {tubercle, cell}. Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis began in 1991.
Bacteria {tularemia} come from rabbits.
Perhaps, bacteria {pertussis} {whooping cough}| came from pigs or dogs.
Monkeys can transmit bacteria {yellow fever}|.
Bacteria can cause tooth decay {caries}|.
Bacteria can cause gum disease {gingivitis}|.
Bacteria can cause bleeding gums {pyorrhea}|.
Bacteria can cause painful gingivitis {trench mouth}|.
Bacteria can infect hair follicles and sebaceous glands and cause black heads, pimples, cysts, and abscesses {acne}|.
Fungus or staphylococcus bacteria can cause hair-follicle inflammation {barber's itch}| {sycosis barbae} {ringworm of beard} {tinea barbae}.
Bacteria can infect hair follicles {furuncle} {boil, follicle}|.
Bacteria can cause ulceration {buruli ulcer}.
Bacteria can cause deep skin swelling and pain {carbuncle}| {boil, skin}.
One or two weeks after cat scratches, Bartonella bacteria can cause skin inflammation {Parinaud oculoglandular disease} {la malade des griffes du chat} {cat-scratch fever}|. Bartonella-related bacteria cause trench fever spread by body lice.
Syphilis lesions are small red raised spots {chancre}| with fluid leading to firm spots {bubo} that heal with no scar.
Bacteria can cause skin inflammation {dermatitis}|.
Bacteria can cause cold sores {fever blister}|.
Bacteria can cause skin sores {leprosy}|.
Released by inflammation or dryness, histamines, opioids, endorphins, prostaglandins, acetylcholine, and serotonin cause itching {pruritis}| {itching} by stimulating C-fiber prurireceptors. Itching C fibers are similar to, but separate from, pain C fibers.
Tick bites transfer bacteria {Rickettsia bacteria}, which make small pink wrist and ankle dots, that then enlarge, go all over body, and bleed {Rocky Mountain spotted fever}|.
Scalp, nose, eyebrow, eyelid, ear, and chest oil-gland inflammation makes red skin with yellowish scales {seborrhea}|.
Chronic Caribbean diseases {yaws}| can cause red pimples.
