INFECTION

WHAT IS AN INFECTION?

An infection is a condition that occurs when a microorganism, such as bacteria, fungi, or a virus, invades the body and causes harm. The microorganism multiplies and spreads, causing damage to the body's tissues and organs.

TYPES OF INFECTIONS

There are many different types of infections, including:

• Bacterial infections: These infections are caused by bacteria, which are single-celled organisms. Common bacterial infections include strep throat, pneumonia, and urinary tract infections.
• Viral infections: These infections are caused by viruses, which are smaller than bacteria and require a host cell to reproduce. Common viral infections include the common cold, flu, and COVID-19.
• Fungal infections: These infections are caused by fungi, which are plant-like organisms. Common fungal infections include athlete's foot and yeast infections.
• Parasitic infections: These infections are caused by parasites, which are organisms that live on or in a host organism and derive nourishment from or at the expense of its host without providing any useful service in return. Common parasitic infections include malaria and toxoplasmosis.
