CIBTAC AND CIDESCO EXAMS QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS (100% PASS)
Local Infection - ✔️✔️An infection that is confined to one area
e.g. pimple or boil
General Infection - ✔️✔️An infection that has spread to all parts of the body
e.g. blood poisoning
Cross Infection - ✔️✔️The transfer of infection from one individual to another by direct
contact or shared utensils (indirect)
Immunity - ✔️✔️Protection against certain types of invading bacteria or toxic substances once
they have entered the body.
It involves the ability to recognise, memorise and respond. It can be inborn or acquired.
Natural Immunity - ✔️✔️Natural exposure to disease forming organisms that the body fights
off and produces antibodies to prevent reinfection.
Artificial Immunity - ✔️✔️Deliberate exposure through vaccination.
Antibodies are formed and immunity is built up.
Toxin - ✔️✔️Poison consisting of complex chemical substances that enter the blood stream or
skin tissue.
Pus - ✔️✔️Yellowish fluid that oozes from a wound.
