Microbial and Non-microbial presentation

For this assignment you will complete research using scholarly sources to locate and discuss two different diseases. One disease example must be of microbial origin and the second disease example must be of non-microbial origin.

As a reminder, microbes that cause disease are called pathogens. A pathogen is a micro-organism that has the potential to cause disease. The most common microbial causes of diseases and infections are bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses. Examples of non-microbial causes of disease include immune or nervous system disorders, psychological stress, traumatic injury, chemicals, etc.

You will create a PowerPoint presentation. For each disease, discuss the following:

pathophysiology

prevalence

etiology

clinical manifestations

diagnosis 

treatment - when discussing treatment, it will be imperative that you discuss medication administration and dosage.
