oireeton itämisaika


Definition from UTU Laboratorio-opas 2012-2014:
Tartuntaa seuraa vaihtelevan pituinen oireeton itämisaika. Tavallisesti sen loppupuolella, jo ennen oireiden alkamista virus on lisääntynyt siinä määrin, että sitä ja sen antigeeneja voidaan todeta kohde-elimissä. Samaan aikaan alkaa vasta-ainetuotanto, joka vauhtiin päästyään nopeasti vähentää vapaiden virusten määrää.

Example sentence(s):
  • Pitkäaikainen oireeton itämisaika ja tartunnankantajuus lisäävät riskejä sukupuolisuhteissa. - Opinnäytetyö, Tienhaara, 2010  
  • Voiko aids uhata homo sapiens -lajin säilymistä? Tuskin, sillä huono tarttuvuus ja pitkä oireeton itämisaika tekevät taudista paljon hampaattomamman kuin esimerkiksi aikanaan rutto oli. Joissakin osissa maailmaa sen vaikutus on kuitenkin hyvin suuri merkitys. - HS  
  • Karanteenilla tarkoitetaan vaaralliselle tartuntataudille altistuneen oireettoman henkilön liikkumavapauden rajoittamista, jotta hän ei oireettoman itämisajan tai alkuoireiden aikana tartuta tautia eteenpäin. - Opinnäytetyö, Koponen-Korolainen, 2011
