a) U Might develop pneumonia, but generally speaking, nearly everyone recovers fine w/ rest & OTC preparations for symptoms relief. b) You're (very) contagious."Yawn!"You're 'unkissable'. :(~a)Quite serious. Involvement of most body systems. Death as a direct consequence of the disease is rare but can happen (i. e: from cardiac problems assoc. w/ possible heart inflammation).b)Typically, the ELISA & Western blots (which test for the presence of human anti-bodies generated in response to the borrelia PIECES that result when the spirochete dies or gets lysed). This test is unfortunately only about 50% accurate. Also, a blood/serum test for Borrelia Burgderfori (Lyme) DNA exists but a "false negative" result is common, esp. w/ limited samples. Other tests are in research or developmental stages (at the Columbia University Tick-borne Diseases Research Center & elsewhere) but not widely available... yet.

What is the infectious disease that killed the most number of humans in history?
Inver Grove Heights
Is it the Black Death/Bubonic Plague?
Kensal
Spanish Flu killed between 50-100mil people. Bubonic plague killed between 75-200mil people. So could be either. It wouldn't be a huge shock if the historians of the time overstated the effects of the plague to make themselves seem more important.
Scott Township
many people consider Life to be the most infectious disease. And everyone dies from that.
Twin Valley
My bet is smallpox or malaria.
Coyanosa
Smallpox. Half a billion dead in the 20th century alone. It's only two rivals are malaria and tuberculosis.
Port Deposit
It's the bubonic plague/Black Death, easily
Elwood
Smallpox is considered to have killed the most people in history. The black plague killed over 25 million in the medieval ages, a third of Europe's population. http://www. qualityhealth. com/health-life…

Scottville Coming right out of highschool, what steps...
Scottville
Coming right out of highschool, what steps should i take to become a pathologist/ infectious disease specialstwhat schools, courseswhat do i do right after graduating, what college should i go to for pre-med... my goal is to get a residency at Johns Hopkins-- what do i need to do/??
Henriette
Don't sweat Undergrad. Do well in classes. Major in Science, but take some business courses. Volunteer/shadow a doc (more than one or a path/ID if you can.)Enjoy undergrad without endangering yous academic standing (in other words, do well but you don't need a 4.0 with all honor classes.) The biggest mistake students make getting into medical school is not being able to show they are a real person. Play a sport. Show you know how to have fun. Be able to talk about a hobby, etc. Medical school is where you will have to struggle to get your residency. I worked with some ID docs, but don't know of many that were also pathologists. That may be an unusual combination. Good luck with everything.
