Infection is a condition that arises when harmful microorganisms invade the body and multiply, causing damage and disease. These microorganisms, commonly referred to as infectious agents or pathogens, can be viruses, bacteria, fungi, or parasites and they can invade the body through various means such as inhalation, ingestion, or direct contact with infected bodily fluids.
The signs and symptoms of infection vary depending on the type of pathogen and the location of the infection. Common signs of infection include fever, chills, cough, fatigue, diarrhea, vomiting, sore throat, and rash. In severe cases, infection can cause sepsis, a life-threatening condition that occurs when the immune response to infection causes widespread inflammation.
Prevention of infection involves practicing good hygiene, such as frequent hand washing, covering your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing, avoiding close contact with sick individuals, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle through exercise and balanced nutrition. Treatment of infection involves identifying the causative pathogen and prescribing appropriate medications, such as antibiotics, antifungals, or antivirals. In some cases, supportive care such as intravenous fluids and oxygen therapy may also be necessary to manage symptoms and prevent complications.
