Hansen’s disease is also called ["Tuberculosis","Leprosy"] and is caused two species ["Mycobacteriumtuberculosis", "Mycobacterium leprae"] and M ["Mycobacteriumlepromatosis", "Mycobacterium tuberculosis"] . These bacteriaare the only known bacterial pathogens of peripheral nerves.Patients with a strong Tcell response develop a nonprogressive formof the disease called ["lepromatous leprosy", "tuberculoidleprosy"] while patients with a weak T cell immune responsedevelop ["lepromatous leprosy", "tuberculoid leprosy"] inwhich the bacterium multiplies in the skin, mucous membranes,and nerve cells, and progressively destroys facial features,fingers, toes, and other body structures. The cell wall of themycobacterium contains a large amount of ["mycolic acid", "aceticacid"] which accounts for the slow growth rate of thebacterium and protects it from ["lysis", "enlargement"] oncephagocytized. These bacteria have a preference for ["cooler","warmer"] regions of the human body. They reproduce in the["myocytes", "neuroglia"] of peripheral nerve endings, cellsof the ["mucous membrane", "fimbria"] of the nose, and skincells in the fingers, toes, lips, and earlobes. Botulism is anintoxication by one of the seven antigenically distinct["porphyrins", "neurotoxins"] produced by ["Clostridiumperfringens", "Clostridium botulinum"] that progressivelyparalyzes skeletal muscles. There are three forms of this disease.["Food- borne", "aerosolized"] results from consumption oftoxins in contaminated food, while ["infant botulism", "fomitebotulism"] and wound botulism infections result fromendospore contamination. The neurotoxins preventmuscle contraction by binding irreversibly to neuronalcytoplasmic membranes, thereby preventing the fusion of ["capsids","vesicles"] and the secretion of the neurotransmitter["acetylcholine", "norepinephrine"] into the synaptic cleftcausing a ["flaccid", "spastic"] paralysis. Lockjaw is thelayman's term for ["Tetanus", "pseudomembranous colitis"] caused by the bacterium ["Clostridium perfringens","Clostridium tetani"] .The severe muscle contraction iscaused by a potent neurotoxin called ["tetanospasmin","cytotoxins"] which blocks ["excitatory", "inhibitory"] neurotransmitters, resulting in unrelenting musclecontraction. ["Rabies", "Cryptococcal meningitis"] is afungal meningitis manifesting with the signs and symptoms common toother forms of meningitis. This infection is caused byinhalation of spores and or dried cells of ["neisseriameningitidis", "Cryptococcus neoformans"] a basidiomyceteyeast. The fungus spreads from the lungs via the blood to themeninges and brain tissue.
