[Jaundice101]

Next draft Infection Card for Epipocalypse: Bug Detectives: Echinococcus!

Forms cysts in your liver and sometimes your lung

 

[Jaundice101]

Next draft Infection Card for Epipocalypse: Bug Detectives: Hepatitis E!

The viral hepatitis no one remembers. And the one that, while not usually severe, can make pregnant women very sick.

 

[Jaundice101]

Next draft Infection Card for Epipocalypse: Bug Detectives: Rotavirus!

Now with a less intussusception-causing vaccine I hear.

 

[Jaundice101]

Next draft Infection Card for Epipocalypse: Bug Detectives: Norovirus!

The other common pooping virus. And the scourge of oysters.

 

[Jaundice101]

Next draft Infection Card for Epipocalypse: Bug Detectives: Clostridioides difficile!

Even old C diff was once Clostridium. Why they changed it, I can't say. Maybe they liked it better that way?

 

[Jaundice101]

Next draft Infection Card for Epipocalypse: Bug Detectives: Herpes!

Two herpes simplex viruses (1 & 2). Different tropisms, but both can cause genital disease.

 

[Jaundice101]

Next draft Infection Card for Epipocalypse: Bug Detectives: Chlamydia!

The most common cause of non-gonococcal urethritis. Which I always found to be a curious term.

 

[Jaundice101]

Next draft Infection Card for Epipocalypse: Bug Detectives: Gonorrhea!

The most common cause of gonococcal urethritis. 😝 And the one that can sometimes sneak outside the GU tract...

 

[Jaundice101]

Next draft Infection Card for Epipocalypse: Bug Detectives: Gonorrhea (again)!

This time it's in your joints. Killing ur dudes. May also cause a tenosynovitis as well.

 

[Jaundice101]

Next draft Infection Card for Epipocalypse: Bug Detectives: Gonorrhea (again)!

This time it's in your liver capsule. Elevating your transaminases.

 

[Jaundice101]

Next draft Infection Card for Epipocalypse: Bug Detectives: Trichomonas!

The STI that's also a protazoan parasite!

 

[Jaundice101]

Next draft Infection Card for Epipocalypse: Bug Detectives: More STIs. Mycoplasma genitalium!

Runner up to the runner up in causing urethritis! Also, like super drug resistant. 🫤

One of the few bugs the CDC recommends 2 drugs for.

 

[Jaundice101]

Next draft Infection Card for Epipocalypse: Bug Detectives: Syphilis!

The most common cause of a (painless) genital ulcer. But as we shall see, not the only one... 🧐

 

[Jaundice101]

Next draft Infection Card for Epipocalypse: Bug Detectives: HIV!

I feel like we've already done this one, but if not, HIV is an STI too. 😬 Also, I would rather have HIV than diabetes because it's so treatable. Crazy? Discuss.

 

[Jaundice101]

Next draft Infection Card for Epipocalypse: Bug Detectives: BV!

Bacterial vaginosis. Not entirely clear it's an "infection" per se, probably more of a dysbiosis, but gets better with treatment including the partner.

 

[Jaundice101]

Next draft Infection Card for Epipocalypse: Bug Detectives: Mpox!

Although not a STI in the traditional sense, sex-associated transmission is now a common cause of what was previously primarily a zoonosis. Infectious disease is crazy!

 

[Jaundice101]

Next draft Infection Card for Epipocalypse: Bug Detectives: Hepatitis B!

The chronic hepatitis virus that can be transmitted so many different ways...
