What are infectious diseases?

In the summer, due to frequent heavy rains, food is more likely to breed bacteria, which will cause different bacterial infections in the human body. People with poor resistance will get sick. When it rains heavily, the weather will become colder, so people will easily spread viruses and the water quality will deteriorate. Because of this, there will be the following two types of infectious diseases.

These two diseases are quite special, so everyone should pay more attention to them. There is also more detailed information below to let everyone know. We should also pay more attention to unnecessary troubles. I hope everyone can understand these infectious diseases well.

Typhoid

Typhoid fever is a malignant infectious disease caused by the transmission of Salmonella typhi (Salmonella typhi) through the digestive tract. It is mainly caused by eating food and drinking water contaminated by bacteria and bacterial toxins, and often affects the whole family or a group of people. The onset is slow, with body temperature rising in a step-like manner. After 4 to 5 days, high fever occurs, which lasts for more than 1 to 2 weeks. The patient then becomes pale, has a dull expression, has diarrhea or constipation, and has hepatosplenomegaly. Some patients may have complications such as intestinal bleeding and intestinal perforation. Untimely or improper treatment is often life-threatening.

cholera

Cholera is a highly contagious intestinal disease caused by Vibrio cholerae. The infection occurs after eating unclean food containing Vibrio cholerae. The sources of infection of this disease are patients and carriers. It is transmitted through water, food, daily life contact and flies, and the general population is susceptible. The incubation period is 3 hours to 7 days, and the main symptoms are severe diarrhea and vomiting. The vomit and diarrhea may be rice water-like. There is generally no abdominal pain or fever. In severe cases, dehydration shock, dry and wrinkled skin, thirst and dry lips may occur. The disease progresses rapidly and if not treated promptly, the patient may die from multiple organ failure. It also spreads quickly and may become a large-scale epidemic.

I hope that the above understanding and introduction will be of some help to everyone, so I also hope that everyone can prevent infectious diseases, pay more attention to hygiene issues, exercise more, and improve their resistance. I also hope to deepen the understanding of infectious diseases, and pay attention to daily living habits. In this way, everyone can better protect themselves.
