Infections Impact Factor

 

An infection is that the invasion of an organism's body tissues by disease-causing agents, their multiplication, and therefore the refore the reaction of host tissues to the infectious agents and the toxins they produce. An communicable disease, also referred to as a transmissible disease or disease, is an illness resulting from an infection.

Specific medications wont to treat infections include antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, antiprotozoals, and antihelminthics. Infectious diseases resulted in 9.2 million deaths in 2013 (about 17% of all deaths). The branch of drugs that focuses on infections is mentioned as communicable disease.

The word infection can denote any presence of a specific pathogen in the least (no matter how little) but is also often utilized in a way implying a clinically apparent infection. This fact occasionally creates some ambiguity or prompts some usage discussion; to get around this it is common for health professionals to speak of colonization (rather than infection) when they mean that a number of the pathogens are present but that no clinically apparent infection (no disease) is present.
