Infectious Diseases
Infectious diseases are caused by microorganisms, such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites, which “invade” the body and can cause illness. Infectious diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for millions of deaths each year. It is important to understand infectious diseases in order to help prevent the spread of these illnesses and develop treatments. Vaccines, antibiotics, and other preventive measures can help protect individuals from infection by specific germs. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment of infectious diseases can lessen the severity of the illness, reduce suffering, and save lives.
