These diseases can range from mild to severe and can be spread through contact, air, water, or food. Common infectious diseases include the flu, a cold, tuberculosis, malaria, and HIV. Treatments for infectious diseases can vary depending on the type of infection and the severity of its symptoms. Vaccines, antibiotics, and lifestyle modifications are some of the ways to prevent and treat infectious diseases. By understanding the signs and symptoms of these illnesses, people can help protect themselves and others from becoming infected.
