Diseases & Symptoms

A Block: Got caught up from yesterday (see post below).

C Block:
Admit Slip: what is a symptom?

Objective: Discuss various symptoms and the body's response to fever, cough, rash etc. Discuss why symptoms (like foaming at the mouth in rabies) can be part of a disease's "plan of attack."

Homework: Using the disease you "created" in class, find a real disease that exhibits similar symptoms.
