What is Infectious Diseases?

Infectious Diseases are illnesses caused by pathogenic microorganisms such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites. These diseases can spread directly or indirectly from one person to another or through vectors like insects. Infectious diseases range from mild conditions like the common cold to severe illnesses such as tuberculosis or HIV/AIDS. Prevention, early detection, and treatment are critical to managing infectious diseases. This field also involves understanding disease transmission, developing vaccines, and implementing public health strategies to control and prevent outbreaks. Healthcare professionals working in infectious diseases play a crucial role in diagnosing, treating, and managing these conditions while educating the public on prevention measures.
