virulence[edit]

I spent about an hour adding information on virulence, but I walked away for ten minutes and returned, and the editor was reloading. All changes were lost, but virulence - Attachment - Invasion - Immune escape - Injuy

I believe the category of virulence with these subcategories and mechanisms of each bacteria is necessary for all pathogenic organisms. 

I'm just too disappointed to re-add all of that effort a second time.

pyogenes[edit]

I think the information would be more logically organized if there were a S. pyogenes page of its own rather than redirecting here. S. pyogenes is a very important and interesting organism and I didn't know if a discussion about it would be appropriate here since the topic is not the organism but infections. The information on this page could be added to a S. pyogenes page or a link to this infections page could be used.

Sorry for being anal retentive here, but I don't want to make such a large change without getting feedback.

Thanks.

Sounds reasonable. All you need do is write the article at Streptococcus pyogenes, and include a link back here to Group A streptococcal infection. - Nunh-huh 01:29, 6 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]


Is it communicable?[edit]

I would assume that this thing is communicable, but the article doesn't directly say so. If some could explain how it's transmuted that'd be great.

I've added something this, though only in relation to severe infection. Varchoel (talk) 12:08, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Good point[edit]

This article needs some rework. Some infections (e.g. pharyngitis, impetigo) are quite communicable, while others (e.g. cellulitis, invasive) likely are unlikely to be spread.

Link to OCD[edit]

This paragraph qiotes the link as "contentious", however the reference cited mentions no controversy, but mentions the link "promises to bring increased understanding" of OCD's pathogenesis. I am editing accordingly until a reference citing some contention is used.

Link to Nederlands[edit]

When clicking on Nederlands under Languages (left bar) the page redirects to "Krentenbaard" which isn't a translation of a group A streptococcal infection. "Krentenbaard" means impetigo (a disease caused by staphylococcus aureus or streptococcus pyogenes). I have no idea how to change this link being a noob, and wouldn't want to do it anyway without feedback. --Sandraa73 (talk) 09:05, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Removed. --WS (talk) 16:07, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Association to "Vertical Reading"[edit]

It may improve the value of this entry if it also followed the "Vertical Reading" approach. i.e. Listing by: 1. Mechanisms 2. Epidemiology 3. Time sequence 4. Symptoms 5. Signs 6. Dx tests 7. Prognosis

Where do you find more information on vertical reading[edit]

- I think virulence should be a subcategory of Mechanisms (or perhaps it's own category) and it needs to explain invasion, evasion of immune system, and injury (at the very least).
