Scope and Importance

Infectious Diseases:

Infectious diseases are diseases caused by harmful organisms (bacteria, Virus Etc.) that enter the body from outside. Disease-causing pathogens include viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites and, rarely, prions. You can catch the virus from other people, mosquitoes, and contaminated food, water, or soil.

What are the types of infectious diseases?

Infectious diseases can be bacterial, viral, parasitic or fungal. There is also a group of rare diseases called infectious spongiform encephalopathy (TSE).

Viral Infections: A virus is a piece of information (DNA or RNA) inside a protective shell (capsid). These viruses are smaller than cells and cannot reproduce on their own. They get into your brain and use the cellular machinery to make copies of themselves.

Bacterial Diseases:  Bacteria are single-celled organisms whose instructions are written into short DNA sequences. Bacteria are everywhere, including on our bodies and skin. Most of these bacteria are harmless and even beneficial, but some bacteria release toxins that can make you sick.

Fungal Disease: Like bacteria, there are many fungi. They are in and on your body. You can get sick when you have too many yeast infections or when fungal infections enter your body through your mouth, nose, or skin cracks.

Parasitic Diseases: Parasites use the body of other organisms to survive and reproduce. Parasites include worms (worms) and some single organisms (protozoa).

Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy (TSE/prion disease): TSE is caused by prions, a defect that causes other proteins in your body (usually those in your brain) to become defective.Your body can't use or get rid of these proteins, so they build up and make you sick. Prions are a rare form of infection.

Sessions/Tracks

Session 1: Infectious Diseases

Infectious diseases are disorders caused by organisms like bacterium, viruses, fungi or parasites. Several organisms sleep in and on our bodies. They are unremarkably harmless or may be useful, however below sure conditions, some organisms might cause illness. Some infectious diseases are passed from person to person. Some are transmitted by bites from insects or animals. And others are non-inheritable by ingesting contaminated food or water or being exposed to organisms within the surroundings. Signs and symptoms vary looking on the organism inflicting the infection; however usually embody fever and fatigue. Delicate infections might reply to rest and residential remedies, whereas some serious infections might need hospitalization. Several infectious diseases, like contagious disease and varicella, is prevented by vaccines. Frequent and thorough hand-washing additionally helps defend you from most infectious diseases.

Infectious that's familiar earlier, had fallen to low levels that they were not recognized public health issues. Re-emergence of agents whose incidence of malady had considerably declined within the past; however, whose incidence of malady has reappeared. This category of diseases is thought as re-emerging infectious diseases.

Session 6: STD and Contact Diseases

Infections that are passed from one person to a different through sexual contact are thought as STDs (Sexually Transmitted Diseases). Bacteria, parasites, yeast and viruses square measure the causes of sexually transmitted diseases, there square measure over twenty kinds of STDs example VD, gonorrhoea, HIV/AIDS, Cupid's itch and protozoa infection etc. STDs have an effect on each men and girls, however in several cases health issues square measure severe for girls. STDs caused by bacterium, yeast or parasites will be treated by antibiotics, there's no cure for STDs caused by virus however medicines will facilitate in hindrance and management. Individuals between the ages of fifteen and twenty-four years acquire 1/2 all new STDs, associate degreed one in four sexually active adolescent females has an STD. However, STD rates among seniors square measure increasing.

Session 7: Tropical Infectious Diseases

Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) – a various cluster of communicable diseases that prevail in tropical and sub-tropic conditions they're caused by a spread of pathogens like viruses, bacteria, protozoa and helminths. Over one billion folk’s globally square measure suffering from these neglected tropical diseases the cluster of parasitic and microorganism diseases causes substantial wellness. As per the reports from World Health Organization (WHO), the main diseases of concern square measure protozoa infection, that affects over one third of the world’s population.

Session 8: Pediatric Infectious Diseases

If a child is suffering with periodic or persistent diseases caused by any infectious agents like microorganism, fungi, parasite or the other rare infection it is called as the pediatric infectious diseases. Children with non-heritable or inheritable disorders of system infections and treated by division of medicine infectious diseases and supply steerage on travel protection.

Session 9: Food and Water Borne Infections

Consuming contaminated foods or beverages causes foodborne diseases. The start of symptoms might occur inside minutes to weeks and often occur as flu-like symptoms. Symptoms of infected person area unit nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or fever because the symptoms area unit flu-like many of us might not acknowledge that the illness is caused by microorganism or different microorganism in food. Foodborne malady will be prevented by correct preparation or by process the food to kill the pathogens.

Session 10: Pulmonary and Chest Infections

 A vaccination is a biological treatment that offers active acquired immunity against a specific infectious or cancerous illness. Numerous studies and independent reports have shown the efficacy of vaccinations. An agent that mimics disease-causing bacteria is generally found in vaccines, and this agent is frequently created from the microbe's toxins, weakened or deceased versions, or one of its surface proteins. The substance induces the immune system to identify the substance as a threat, eliminate it, and then identify and eliminate any subsequent bacteria that may be connected with the substance. Inactivated, dead, or attenuated organisms or purified compounds produced from them are frequently found in vaccines. Vaccinations come in a variety of forms. These illustrate several approaches that have been utilized to lower the chance of getting sick while maintaining the potential to trigger a good immunological response.

Track 14: Respiratory and Blood Infections

Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are infections of parts of the body involved in breathing, similar as the sinuses, throat, airways or lungs. Utmost RTIs get better without treatment, but occasionally you may need to see a GP. Common Cold, Sinusitis, Pharyngitis, Epiglottitis and Laryngotracheitis are respiratory infections. Viral pathogens are the most common cause of respiratory infection in trippers ; causative agents include rhinoviruses, respiratory syncytial contagion, influenza contagion, Para influenza contagion, Mortal Meta Pneumovirus, Measles, mumps, adenovirus, and coronaviruses. Septicemia is an infection that occurs when bacteria enter the bloodstream and spread. It can lead to sepsis, the body's response to the infection, which can cause organ damage and indeed death. Septicemia is more common in people who are rehabilitated or have other medical conditions.

Track 15: Drug Interaction in Infectious Diseases

A change in the way a drug acts in the body when taken with certain other drugs, herbals, or foods, or when taken with certain medical conditions. Drug interactions may cause the drug to be more or less effective, or cause goods on the body that aren't anticipated. These relations do when one medicine (the perpetrator) alters the attention of another drug (the object) with clinical consequences. Medicine commerce occurs when a case's response to a drug is modified by food, nutritive supplements, expression excipients, environmental factors, other drugs or disease. Drug interactions may make your drug less effective, cause unanticipated side goods, or increase the action of a particular medicine. Some drug interactions can indeed be dangerous to you.

Track 16: Global Trends in Emerging Infections

Infectious diseases are now emerging or reemerging almost every year. This trend will continue because a number of factors, including the increased global population, aging, travel, urbanization, and climate change, favor the emergence, evolution, and spread of new pathogens.
