What are vaccines? Vaccines are injections (shots), liquids, pills, or nasal sprays that you take to teach your body's immune system to recognize and defend against harmful germs. For example, there are vaccines to protect against diseases caused by: Viruses , like the ones that cause the flu and COVID-19 Bacteria , including tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis What are the types of vaccines? There are several types of vaccines: Live-attenuated vaccines use a weakened form of the germ. Inactivated vaccines use a killed version of the germ.
Vaginal Diseases
Vaginal problems are some of the most common reasons women go to the doctor. They may have symptoms such as: Itching Burning Pain Abnormal bleeding Discharge One common problem is vaginitis , an inflammation of the vagina. Other problems that affect the vagina include sexually transmitted infections (STIs), vaginal cancer , and vulvar cancer . Treatment of vaginal problems depends on the cause.
Vaginosis - bacterial
Under Bacterial, Viral & Fungal Infections diagnostic criteria (N76.0), workup for Vaginosis - bacterial integrates rapid antigen/NAAT PCR in Vaginosis - bacterial (N76.0: diagnostics) with evidence-graded therapy tailored to C-Reactive Protein / in Vaginosis - bacterial (N76.0: Procalcitonin) response.
Vancomycin resistant enterococcus (VRE) infection
Physicians managing Vancomycin resistant enterococcus (VRE) infection (B95.2; Bacterial, Viral & Fungal Infections) utilize antimicrobial stewardship (narrow-spectrum in Vancomycin resistant enterococcus (VRE) infection (B95.2: pathogen-directed duration) or) and objective C-Reactive Protein / in Vancomycin resistant enterococcus (VRE) infection (B95.2: Procalcitonin) targets (Resolution to baseline (B95.2)) to prevent progression and functional morbidity.
Vaping-related disorder
For patients presenting with Vaping-related disorder (ICD-10-CM U07.0), Bacterial, Viral & Fungal Infections protocols prioritize rapid antigen/NAAT PCR in Vaping-related disorder (U07.0: diagnostics) paired with baseline and interval C-Reactive Protein / in Vaping-related disorder (U07.0: Procalcitonin) assessment.
Viral Infections
What are viruses? Viruses are very tiny germs. They are made of genetic material (either DNA or RNA) inside of a protein coating. There are a huge number of viruses on earth. Only a small number of them can infect humans. Those viruses can infect our cells, which may cause disease. Some of the diseases that viruses can cause include the common cold , the flu , COVID-19 , and HIV . How are viruses spread? Viruses can be spread in different ways: Through droplets and particles that are breathed out by someone who has the infection. You might breathe in the droplets or particles, or they could land on your mouth, nose, or eyes.
Viral flu syndrome
Physicians managing Viral flu syndrome (also termed Disorder or Syndrome) (J06.9; Bacterial, Viral & Fungal Infections) utilize antimicrobial stewardship (narrow-spectrum in Viral flu syndrome (J06.9: pathogen-directed duration) or) and objective C-Reactive Protein / in Viral flu syndrome (J06.9: Procalcitonin) targets (Resolution to baseline (J06.9)) to prevent progression and functional morbidity.
Vulvovaginitis - candidal
Cataloged under federal diagnostic code B37.31 in Infections & Antivirals, Vulvovaginitis - candidal requires sepsis/severity red-flag triage [Vulvovaginitis - candidal B37.31] so specialists can calibrate treatment intensity against Targeted PCR / in Vulvovaginitis - candidal (B37.31: Culture & Sensitivity) benchmarks.
