Peptic disease, erysipelas and scarlet fever: bacterial diseases.

Peptic disease: is characterized by lesions in the stomach mucosa, causing gastritis or, in more severe cases, ulcers. Headache, stomach upsets similar to hunger and burning sensations are its main symptoms. In more severe cases, it can cause bloody stools and/or vomit. The agent responsible for this disease is the Helicobacter pylori, which can be found in the stomach without causing damage.
Erysipelas: caused by Streptococcus pyogenes, usually the contagion occurs through skin lesions, mainly chilblains. When penetrating these regions, the bacteria spreads through the lymphatic vessels and can cause, in addition to reddened spots on the skin, high fever, chills, headache, nausea and vomiting. Treatment must be done judiciously, as relapses may occur.
Scarlet fever: also caused by Streptococcus pyogenes, its toxins initially cause sore throat, fever, muscle pain, nausea and vomiting; and the tongue has bumps resembling raspberry. After this stage, rashes and bright red dots appear that extend from the chest and the nape to the whole body, with the palms of the hands and feet, and the region around the mouth. pale. This disease is transmitted by inhalation of saliva droplets and secretions containing the bacteria and, not being properly treated, it can cause joint pain, seizures, internal bleeding and inflammation of the kidneys and eardrums.
