FAQs

What are infectious diseases?

Infectious diseases are diseases or illnesses caused by microbiologic agents. Such agents include bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites and other rare pathogens.

What is the cause of infectious diseases?

The root cause for infectious diseases is an infecting organism. However, many underlying factors like diabetes, old age, kidney and liver problem etc. can predispose a person to develop infectious diseases.

Do all infectious diseases spread from person to person?

Many infections are transmitted from person to person but not all of them. The spread depends on the type of contact with the diseased person. While flu spreads easily from person to person, bacterial pneumonia does not spread.

What is antibiotic resistance? What is the problem associated with the same?

Antibiotic resistance means that a micro-organism which could previously be killed or stopped by antibiotic becomes resistant to the effect of that medicine. One of the major causes of antibiotic resistance is inappropriate use of antibiotics in the general population, often without any justifiable reason. Antibiotic resistance is a major problem globally and in India, since infections by these organisms result in disability and death of thousands and millions of patients every year.

Are infections in the diabetic, kidney or liver disease patients similar to normal patients?

Diabetics, patients with kidney or liver disease have weakened immune system to fight microorganisms. They need extra care and caution in monitoring and treatment.

What are vaccines? What vaccines are required in adults?

Vaccines are specific type of injections designed to boost immunity against particular infections. They can be given alone or in combination to avoid multiple hospital visits. Influenza vaccine, Hepatitis B vaccine, Pneumococcal vaccine etc. are of importance to adults.

Are vaccines needed before international travel?

Many countries have specific vaccination requirements and also have stipulated time periods within which these vaccines need to be given. These requirements are different for different countries and to certain extent also depend on your country of residence or countries recently travelled to.

What are Hepatitis B and C? Can they be prevented?

Hepatitis B and C are specific viral infections which have a predilection to involve the liver and cause liver swelling or liver injury. These are important because they often cause slow gradual damage to the liver and may even result in liver failure. Measures like proper screening of blood and blood products before transfusion, encouraging voluntary blood donation etc. are important in preventing the transmission of these viruses. Additionally, while an effective vaccine exists for Hepatitis B, unfortunately no such vaccine is available for Hepatitis C.
