Infectious Disease

Infectious diseases have been a part of the human experience since time immemorial. They’ve shaped history, challenged medical science, and continue to pose unique and evolving threats to global health. The field of infectious disease is dedicated to understanding, managing, and combating these diseases, which can range from the common cold to more severe and emerging threats like COVID-19. This page provides an overview of infectious diseases, their impact on society, and the crucial role of infectious disease specialists in our healthcare system.

Understanding Infectious Diseases

The diverse range of infectious diseases can affect nearly every organ and system in the human body. They are typically categorized into several types:

Respiratory Infections: These include diseases like the common cold, influenza, and pneumonia, which primarily affect the respiratory system.
Gastrointestinal Infections: Diseases like gastroenteritis, cholera, and hepatitis are caused by pathogens that affect the digestive system.
Vector-Borne Diseases: These infections are transmitted by vectors like mosquitoes and ticks and include malaria, dengue, and Lyme disease.
Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs): STIs such as HIV, syphilis, and gonorrhea are primarily transmitted through sexual contact.
Zoonotic Diseases: Zoonoses are infections that can spread between animals and humans, such as rabies and avian influenza.
Emerging and Re-emerging Infections: These are new or resurging diseases like COVID-19, Ebola, and Zika, which pose unique challenges to healthcare systems.
