Others are specific to individual body parts, such as skin rashes, coughing, or a runny nose.
Some signs of infection affect the whole body generally, such as fatigue, loss of appetite, weight loss, fevers, night sweats, chills, aches and pains. The symptoms of an infection depend on the type of disease. Spinal fluid can be tested to ensure that there is no brain infection. Chest x-rays and stool analysis may also aid diagnosis. If an infection is suspected, blood, urine and sputum cultures are usually the first step. Read about the difference between viral and bacterial infection and then speak about the symptoms that can help to distinguish them:ĭiagnosis of infections can be difficult as specific signs and symptoms are rare. the act of discovering or identifying the exact cause of an illness existing, but not yet very noticeable, active or well developed a change in your body or mind that shows that you are not healthy a condition in which a part of the body becomes red, sore and swollen because of infection a collection of cells that form the different parts of humansį. the simplest and smallest forms of life and are often a cause of diseaseĮ. a tiny parasite living, growing and reproducing its kind inside a host cell that causes infectious diseasesĭ. the act or process of causing or getting a diseaseĬ. a poisonous substance, especially one that is produced by bacteriaī.

A short-term infection is an acute infection. An infection that is inactive or dormant (неактивная, латентная) is called a latent infection. An infection that is active, but does not produce noticeable symptoms, may be called inapparent, silent, or subclinical.
An infection that produces symptoms is an apparent infection. They are classified by the causative agent as well as by the constellation of symptoms and medical signs that are produced. Infections are classified in multiple ways. The branch of medicine that focuses on infections and pathogens is infectious disease medicine. Pharmaceuticals can also help fight infections. Mammalian hosts (организм-носитель у млекопитающих) react to infections with an innate response, often involving inflammation, followed by an adaptive response. Hosts normally fight infections themselves via their immune system. Infections are caused by microorganisms such as viruses, prions, bacteria, and viroids, though larger organisms like macroparasites and fungi can also infect.
