Infection
Basics of Infection
Infection…..
Today’s
most usable word is Infection.
We
see… we read… we hear, everywhere Infection… Infection… and Infection…
Bacterial
infection, Viral Infection etc…
Today
we talk about this, and some other word parameter which is related with
infection.
So,
Everyone want to know,
What
is Infection…..????????
And
the answer is,
v Infection -: Infection is a state when
microorganism succeed in entering a host and reproduce more of their kind.
v Contamination-: The presence of an infective agent
on a body surface or in an inanimate object or substance is termed Contamination.
So
this microorganism entering in the host they want agent.
v Pathogens -: Agent of the infection called
Pathogens.
v Reservoirs-: Pathogens (agent of infection) must
find a place to live and multiply, such places are called Reservoirs.
Till
that we talk about the basic knowledge of infection and their parameter or
related word.
Now
we talk about the how this microorganisms is spread.
So
we see now mode of transmission of infection. Mode of
Transmission
means how to spread or way of spread.
Mode of
transmission of infection
|
||||
Direct
Transmission
|
Indirect
Transmission
|
|||
1) Direct contact
2) Droplet Infection
3) Contact with soil
4) Inoculation into skin or
The
mucous membrane.
5) Trans placental transmission
|
1) Vehicle borne
2) Vector borne
3) Air borne
4) Formite borne
5) Unclear hands and fingers
|
Direct
transmission means agent of infection directly come or spread with infected
person to other person.
Here
we talk about the direct transmission mode of infection:
1) Direct contact à if the infected person come in direct
contact with other person like shake hand etc.
2) Droplet infection à when infected person sneezing of
coughing at that time lots of droplets come out from his/her body in that
droplets lots of viruses or bacterias are available which is infected to
others.
3) Contact with soil à in the soil, lots of microorganism
are available which is reason for spread the infection.
Indirect
mode of Transmission means agent of infection indirectly come or spread with
infected person to other person like,
infected person touch anything so on that thing microorganism (virus/
bacteria) are spread and when any other one touch the same things the agent of
infection spread on that one, so this is known as indirect transmission.
So
the indirect transmission is spread with vehicle, vector, air, formite or
unclear hands.
· So now how can we do to prevent and control the spreading of an infection or disease?
è The infection agent at it source
either destroying it at this very point or containing it till it dies itself
due to lack of a new host.
è Not allowing the infection or the
disease to spread to a new host transmission.
è Protecting the host by making him or
her strong enough to resist the infection or disease.
è In short, Go Green, Prefer Neat & Hygiene
Environment, Eating Healthy Food and most important maintaining the routine
with yoga and exercises.
