Infections

Infectious diseases are caused by microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites that can be transmitted from person to person or from animal to human. Some infectious diseases can be mild and self-limiting, while others can be severe and life-threatening. Common infectious diseases in children include:

Respiratory infections: These include illnesses such as the common cold, flu, pneumonia, and bronchiolitis.

Gastrointestinal infections: These include illnesses such as gastroenteritis, rotavirus, and norovirus.

Skin and soft tissue infections: These include illnesses such as impetigo, cellulitis, and abscesses.

Central nervous system infections: These include illnesses such as meningitis and encephalitis.

Bloodstream infections: These include illnesses such as sepsis and bacteremia.

Sexually transmitted infections: These include illnesses such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis.

Vector-borne infections: These include illnesses such as malaria, dengue fever, and Zika virus.

Prevention and treatment of infectious diseases in children often involve measures such as vaccination, hand hygiene, isolation precautions, and appropriate use of antibiotics and antiviral medications. It is important to work closely with healthcare providers to properly diagnose and manage infectious diseases in children to prevent complications and ensure optimal outcomes.

Difference between Infectious Diseases and Non-Infectious Diseases

Injurious organisms like viruses and bacteria that enter your body from the outside are what cause infectious disorders. Non-infectious diseases are brought on by factors such as heredity, anatomical variations, ageing, and environmental factors rather than by external organisms. Non-infectious diseases cannot be contracted from other people, through a bug bite, or through food.

Infectious diseases include the flu, measles, HIV, strep throat, COVID-19, and salmonella. Examples of non-infectious diseases include cancer, diabetes, congestive heart failure, and Alzheimer's disease.
