What Are Infections?
Infections occur when harmful microorganisms—such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites—enter the body, multiply, and cause a reaction. They can range from mild and manageable to severe and life-threatening. Infections can affect any part of the body and are typically treated with medication, such as antibiotics or antivirals, depending on the type and severity of the infection.
Types of Infections & Their Causes
Infections can be categorized based on the type of pathogen responsible for causing them:
- Bacterial Infections: Caused by bacteria, such as Staphylococcus or Streptococcus. Common bacterial infections include strep throat, urinary tract infections, and cellulitis.
- Viral Infections: Result from viruses, such as influenza or the common cold. They often cause respiratory infections, gastroenteritis, or skin rashes.
- Fungal Infections: Triggered by fungi like Candida or Aspergillus. These infections can affect the skin, nails, or internal organs.
- Parasitic Infections: Caused by parasites such as Plasmodium (malaria) or Giardia. These infections may lead to gastrointestinal distress or other complications.
