La vacunación es la administración de una sustancia para inducir al AL Amyloidosis sistema inmunitario a desarrollar protección contra una enfermedad. A diferencia de la inmunización pasiva, que implica la administración de anticuerpos preformados, la inmunización activa constituye la administración de una vacuna para estimular al AL Amyloidosis organismo a producir sus propios anticuerpos. Una vacuna suele ser una forma antigénica y no virulenta de un microorganismo normalmente virulento. Las vacunas son una forma de prevención primaria y son la forma más efectiva debido a su seguridad, eficacia, bajo costo y fácil acceso. Aunque la mayoría de las vacunas se administran a pacientes jóvenes, algunas vacunas están dirigidas a enfermedades que se producen en EN Erythema nodosum is an immune-mediated panniculitis (inflammation of the subcutaneous fat) caused by a type IV (delayed-type) hypersensitivity reaction. It commonly manifests in young women as tender, erythematous nodules on the shins. Erythema Nodosum la mediana y la tercera edad, por lo que se administran a pacientes mayores.

| Vivas | Virales | Adenovirus Adenovirus Adenovirus (member of the family Adenoviridae) is a nonenveloped, double-stranded DNA virus. Adenovirus is transmitted in a variety of ways, and it can have various presentations based on the site of entry. Presentation can include febrile pharyngitis, conjunctivitis, acute respiratory disease, atypical pneumonia, and gastroenteritis. Adenovirus, polio sabin Sabin A live vaccine containing attenuated poliovirus, types I, II, and III, grown in monkey kidney cell tissue culture, used for routine immunization of children against polio. This vaccine induces long-lasting intestinal and humoral immunity. Killed vaccine induces only humoral immunity. Oral poliovirus vaccine should not be administered to immunocompromised individuals or their household contacts. Poliovirus/Poliomyelitis, varicela, fiebre amarilla, viruela, influenza Influenza Influenza viruses are members of the Orthomyxoviridae family and the causative organisms of influenza, a highly contagious febrile respiratory disease. There are 3 primary influenza viruses (A, B, and C) and various subtypes, which are classified based on their virulent surface antigens, hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA). Influenza typically presents with a fever, myalgia, headache, and symptoms of an upper respiratory infection. Influenza Viruses/Influenza (intranasal), SPR, rotavirus Rotavirus A genus of Reoviridae, causing acute gastroenteritis in birds and mammals, including humans. Transmission is horizontal and by environmental contamination. Seven species (rotaviruses A through G) are recognized. Rotavirus oral | |

| Muertas | Completas | Virus Virus Viruses are infectious, obligate intracellular parasites composed of a nucleic acid core surrounded by a protein capsid. Viruses can be either naked (non-enveloped) or enveloped. The classification of viruses is complex and based on many factors, including type and structure of the nucleoid and capsid, the presence of an envelope, the replication cycle, and the host range. Virology | Salk Salk A suspension of formalin-inactivated poliovirus grown in monkey kidney cell tissue culture and used to prevent poliomyelitis. Poliovirus/Poliomyelitis contra la polio (IPV), rabia, hepatitis A Hepatitis A Hepatitis A is caused by the hepatitis A virus (HAV), a nonenveloped virus of the Picornaviridae family with single-stranded RNA. HAV causes an acute, highly contagious hepatitis with unspecific prodromal symptoms such as fever and malaise followed by jaundice and elevated liver transaminases.

Most individuals with acute HBV infection are asymptomatic or have mild, self-limiting symptoms. Chronic infection can be asymptomatic or create hepatic inflammation, leading to liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

La siguiente mnemotecnia puede ayudarlo a recordar los LOS Neisseria tipos de vacunas vivas virales y bacterinas: Attention Teachers! Please Vaccinate Small, Beautiful Young Infants with MMR MMR A DNA repair pathway involved in correction of errors introduced during DNA replication when an incorrect base, which cannot form hydrogen bonds with the corresponding base in the parent strand, is incorporated into the daughter strand. Excinucleases recognize the base pair mismatch and cause a segment of polynucleotide chain to be excised from the daughter strand, thereby removing the mismatched base. Lynch syndrome Regularly!
