Across
  1. 1. fever – Viral infection (ssRNA, enveloped) causing capillary bleeding (e.g., Ebola).
  2. 5. – Immune proteins whose overproduction causes blood pressure drop in sepsis
  3. 6. Borrelia burgdorferi from ticks; causes bull’s-eye rash and arthritis.
  4. 8. – Inflammation of the heart’s inner lining, often infecting valves.
  5. 9. disease – Bartonella henselae infection from cat scratches; causes localized papules.
  6. 10. – Active multiplication of bacteria in the bloodstream, triggering severe inflammation.
  7. 12. – Organism (tick, flea) that transmits pathogen.
  8. 13. endocarditis – Rapid valve infection, often caused by Staphylococcus aureus.
  9. 15. endocarditis – Slow valve infection, often from oral bacteria like Streptococcus mutans.
  10. 16. virus – African ssRNA virus (bat reservoir) with ~50% fatality rate.
  11. 17. – Breaking piece of vegetation that blocks a blood vessel.
  12. 18. Fever – Rickettsia rickettsii from ticks; causes spotted rash.
Down
  1. 2. migrans – Bull’s-eye rash at tick bite site in Lyme disease.
  2. 3. – Bacterial layer on heart valves protecting from antibiotics.
  3. 4. – Bacterial accumulations on heart valves that impair function.
  4. 7. fever – Bacterial fever without bleeding (e.g., Lyme disease).
  5. 10. shock – Life-threatening blood pressure drop from immune response to septicemia.
  6. 11. – Presence of bacteria in the blood (not multiplying).
  7. 14. – Natural host (e.g., bats for Ebola) where pathogen lives.
  8. 16. (LPS) – Gram-negative bacterial component that triggers septic shock.
