To understand the difference between bacterial laryngitis and viral, we must first have a good understanding of the difference between bacteria and viruses. Bacteria are living single celled-organisms that can live outside of a living host and multiply on surfaces such as telephones, door handles, counters, etc. Bacteria infect a host and reproduce in order to multiply. Viruses are non-living organisms that infect a host and then "reprogram" the host's cells to do the job of producing more virus. The difference between bacterial laryngitis and viral laryngitis, is bacterial laryngitis is not systemic, meaning that it only attacks one area of the body particularly the larynx (voice box) or immediate surrounding areas of the throat. Whereas viral laryngitis is systemic meaning that it causes other symptoms such as runny nose, congestion, sneezing, coughing, etc. The more "cold-like" symptoms you have, the less likely you are to have the bacterial version of laryngitis. Also, the presence of a fever points more towards bacterial laryngitis than viral. Bacterial laryngitis is highly contagious where viral is not. Bacterial laryngitis can be spread very easily to others because it is an airborne bacteria. So if you suspect that you have the bacterial version of laryngitis, stay away from others and take precautions such as washing your hands and using antibacterial hand sanitizers. The treatment of viral laryngitis is lots of hot, clear fluids such as tea and chicken broth and plenty of rest. Whereas the treatment of bacterial laryngitis is antibiotics perscribed from your doctor.
Bacterial laryngitis is caused by bacterial infections, often involving streptococcus or staphylococcus bacteria. It usually requires antibiotic treatment. Viral laryngitis is caused by viruses such as the common cold or flu viruses and is typically managed with rest, hydration, and symptom relief.
Laryngitis is inflammation of the larynx, leading to a hoarse voice, difficulty speaking, and sometimes sore throat or cough. It is usually caused by viral infections or overuse of the voice, and typically resolves on its own with rest and hydration.
-cidal is the medical terminology combining form meaning causing death as in bacteriocidal (causing bacterial death) or virucidal (causing viral death).
The noun measles, a word for a viral disease, is plural in structure but singular in meaning. The noun measles is an uncountable (mass) noun.The word "measles" is plural when referring to the spots on the body and singular when you have measles as a disease. So you may have to say "cases of measles" to pluralize multiple episodes of the illness.For example, "His measles were bothering him." or "We cannot handle all the measles cases." It seems you have to throw in an extra word to differentiate between the spots and the outbreaks. Do you have an example sentence?Although measles is a plural noun, it is treated as singular.
Homonyms are words that look alike and sound alike but have different meanings: cell (microscopic unit of living matter) cell (single room in a monastery or a jail) cell (small compartment - as in a honeycomb) bank - place where you deposit money, blood, etc bank - edge of a river cold - viral infection cold - opposite of hot
"Ring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding! Gering-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding! Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow! Hatee-hatee-hatee-ho!" These lyrics are from the viral song "The Fox (What Does the Fox Say?)" by the Norwegian comedy duo Ylvis. The song humorously imagines the possible sound that a fox might make.
Laryngitis is the name given for inflammation of the voice box or larynx. It is not a specific disease and can have several causes. A fungal infection could be one of these causes but it is normally a bacterial or viral infection that causes these symptoms.
Catarrhal inflammation is caused by a viral or bacterial infection. Examples of catarrhal inflammation are laryngitis, head code, upper respiratory tract and bronchitis.
