Cisticercosis and criptosporidiosis.

One of the most interesting topics this week was infection by Ascaris lumbricoides, a specie of protozoo that comes into the organism and stay there adhered to the intestinal wall while spread lots of eggs charged with the immature form of itself. I think this is very important because we live in a place where there are the appropiate conditions for this protozoo to grow up, representing a very dangerous thinks to our population.

This week I learnt about deseases.

With the arriving of this new partial, I've started to catch up all my subjects to finally get better notes than before. Anyway, the first topic these past days it's been pathopshysiology of bacterial infection. This is interesting because I start understanding how the most common deseases evolve and how they generate sickness on us. It's surprising how easy it is to get reached by microorganisms, that actually are always around us, but our bodies manage to protect himself about this pathogens.

I'm learning about immune system.

This last days the first topic we saw for the partial was immune system. I have to say that it is very interesting to me to figure out how our bodies deal to protect us from all those threats out there that may endager our lifes. The main thing of it, is that immune system can react for a microorganism for th first time and then, if later that microorganism attaks again, our body can react pretty faster than the first time because it has the ability to remember how to destoy that hazard like the first time.
It is controlled by many mechanisms and they're amazing. I'm happy of being in this career.
