Epidemic In the late winter of 1988, pediatricians in big cities around the country started reporting large increases in the numbers of patients they saw with diffuse red rashes and high fevers (greater than 101°F). The rash, usually extending downward from the hairline to the rest of the body, began after a two-week incubation period. The spots were often so close together that the entire involved area appeared red. Sometimes the skin in such an area peeled after a few days. The rash lasted five to six days. Many of the children also suffered from diarrhea. The age group most affected was preschoolers. This was a change in epidemiology for this infection, as previously the disease most often struck school-age children. A vaccine had been introduced for this disease in 1963, and since then only 5,000-6,000 cases a year had been reported in the United States. 18,193 cases were reported in 1989. In 1990, the epidemic peaked with almost 28,000 cases reported in the US. By 2002, the incidence in this country had fallen and was again in the range of 5,000-6,000 cases a year. What was this resurgent infection? What are some possible reasons for the epidemic in 1989-1991? What is herd immunity? Discuss it in relation to this outbreak. What is the schedule for vaccination for this infection in the United States? Are serious sequelae associated with this infection? If so, what are they? How do you think outbreaks such as this one can be avoided? Do you feel childhood vaccination should be regulated differently in the United States?

Q5. Whooping cough is becoming more common in all age groups. Even though many whooping cough patients report having been vaccinated against whooping cough when they were young, these same people are diagnosed years later with active whooping cough. What is the best current explanation for this? Q6. Tuberculosis and leprosy are caused by similar bacteria. TB is highly contagious, while leprosy is not. Why then, until recently, were suspected leprosy patients quarantined in leprosariums, while TB patients have mainly been allowed to walk around freely?

The major reason many human diseases thought to have been eradicated are reappearing is humans are less active and less fit than in the past some people have avoided vaccinating their children due to fears of bad side effects diseases were frozen during the Cold War and are now being eased by bioterrorists because diseases have evolved to be more virulent over the last few decades most of those recovered from or vaccinated against the diseases have died of old age

00:01 Herd immunity or community immunity is when a large part of the population of an area is immune to a specific disease.

00:06 If enough people are resistant to the cause of a disease such as a virus or bacteria, it is nowhere to go.

00:11 While not every single individual may be immune, the group as a whole has protection.

00:15 Herd immunity happens when a large part of the population, the herd is immune to a virus...
