2) Cellulitis (skin infection)

A. Disease research homework is designed to be open-ended and for your submissions, so you are urged to utilize internet resources, your textbooks, and other reliable sources.

B. It is important that paper in your own words. If it is necessary to quote from another source, please provide the citation.

D. In addition to writing a disease summary, you will create your own detailed case study involving your disease and follow-up questions for other students to answer.

1. Basic information about the pathogen (Scientific name, where it is found in nature, what type of microorganism, if virus: what type of genome and capsid, if bacteria: shape and Gram reaction, etc)

2. Pathogenesis - Describe three interesting facts about how the pathogen causes disease.

3. Description of the clinical signs and symptoms, including time period in which they occur (fast onset or long incubation period). How long are people contagious?

4. Mode of transmission - How do people get infected? What population(s) usually gets this disease?
