Allentown
YES!!!! And there is no cure!
Tivoli
i don't believe in disease, viruses, death
Salem
YES!!! it is a blood borned pathogen. This is a Liver attacking disease that has no known cure.
North York
Yes but usually if you do not DRINK alcohol at all, you will be OK. There are many different strains and they are transmitted via BLOOD so sex is not usually a problem unless it gets rough. A certain GENO TYPE can be treated successfully so that it will not longer be detectable.
Belvidere
yes requires blood contact. Shared needles, sex, other blood exchange.
Lake Minchumina
if you come in contact with infected blood yes but other than that no but can rarely be spread through intercourse but not kissing
West Reading
It is very infectious and can be deadly if not treated. Do not go around someone with this. If you believe you have been exposed, be tested.
McAdenville
Yes, hepatitis C is spread by infected blood, commonly through sharing needles for drug use. It can also be transmitted by unprotected sex, but sexual transmission of hep C is very rare. Hep C is not transmitted through saliva or casual contact.
Zurich
Yes it is. It can be transmitted sexually or by sharing dirty needles when doing drugs.

How will global warming and climate change promote the spread of infectious disease?
Orr
I think that global warming as it is describe doesn't exist, so no impact on diseases there. I do believe that CO2 is rising and will affect more people with lung problems, but nothing infectious. Climate change could lead to more infectious diseases as some countries will get colder weather and the immune system doesn't have what it takes yet to fight back flu or cold; some countries will get hotter, and, as well, people will not have the defences against viruses carried by mosquitoes an such. But with time, Nature will find a way to re-balance itself. Will we give it the time to do so? That is an other question...
University Gardens
Well if the planet's warmer more disease can survive. Many pathogens cannot survive in frigid temperatures, so with a warmer climate they will be able to thrive and infect people.

Jefferson
please answer yes or no or give an opinion upon this topic.. thanksbtw im doing this survey for my stats project :)i need 22 more peoople to answer my question, please help me out.. even if u answer yes or no i'll be really happy with it
Ridge
My answer is influenced by my two professional degrees and more than forty years of clinical practice, but I absolutely believe that vaccination is mandatory to prevent deadly epidemics. I'm old enough to remember some of the most dreadful epidemics of the 20th Century. We don't need any more of those!
Bellerive
No it should not. While there is a good chance it will stop the spreading, distributing a vaccine does not guarantee the disease will not spread, and in some cases the vaccine makes the disease worse. It's best left up to the people to decide if it's worth it to them.
Meadowlands
It depends which disease you are taking about. A vaccination can help prevent you from getting the virus, but there could be multiple strains of the virus. Even if you have a vaccination there is a chance you could contract something, so I would say no.

Is house md a infectious disease doctor and a nephrologist?
Bay Minette
If not then what does house md study?
Star Lake
He's an infectious disease specialist and a "diagnostician". The writers of "House" made up the specialty of "diagnostician" specifically for this show; in the real medical world, there is no such thing as a diagnostician. For the show's purposes, "diagnostician" means someone who specializes in diagnosing difficult or complicated illnesses or "medical mysteries" that span ALL of the medical specialties, and would (or already did) completely baffle other doctors. A nephrologist is a kidney specialist, and is not one of House's specialties, but he does have a neurologist on his team (Dr. Foreman); perhaps that was what you were thinking of?
Castine
Actually, Doctor Hous has a doubl specialty in Infectious diseases, AND Nephrology. Report Abuse
Warrenton
Agreed. He announces in one of the Season 1 episodes (when he's trying to get out of clinic duty) that he is a board certified diagnositican with dual specialties in nephrology and infectious diseases. Report Abuse
