Knowledge on prevention of infectious diseases

Diseases are very common, and colds, fevers, and coughs are easy to get, but the treatment of these diseases is not very complicated. However, diseases like colds are very contagious, so when treating the patient's disease, you must actively cooperate so that your family will not get such diseases. There are more options for infectious diseases, especially some complex infectious diseases that are very harmful to human health, so you must also have a good understanding of the knowledge of infectious disease prevention.

Infectious diseases pose a serious threat to all aspects of the human body, and if not treated once discovered, they will also induce other problems, so it is also necessary to understand the knowledge of infectious disease prevention.

Knowledge on prevention of infectious diseases:

The source of infection refers to people and (or) animals in which pathogens survive and reproduce and can excrete pathogens.

Animal sources of infection, such as poultry and livestock with economic value, should be treated as much as possible and, if necessary, slaughtered and disinfected; if they have no economic value, efforts should be made to eliminate them.

Cut off the transmission route: 1. For respiratory infectious diseases, air circulation must be maintained in public places and homes, and air disinfection should be carried out when necessary. 2. For infectious diseases of the digestive tract, focus on taking measures in the aspects of diet management, feces management, water source protection, elimination of the four pests, and personal hygiene. 3. For infectious diseases transmitted by insects, drugs or other measures can be used to prevent, kill and repel insects, and patriotic health campaigns should be vigorously carried out. 4. For some parasitic diseases with complex transmission factors, such as schistosomiasis, a variety of measures should be taken, including eliminating snails, treating patients and sick cattle, managing water sources, managing feces and personal protection.

There are non-specific measures and specific measures to improve the immunity of the population. Non-specific measures include participating in physical activities to enhance physical fitness; paying attention to hygiene habits; balanced nutrition; improving living conditions, etc.

Specific measures are divided into active immunity and passive immunity. Passive immunization achieves rapid and short-term protection by injecting susceptible people with specific antibodies against a certain infectious disease. Active immunization is achieved by injecting (or taking) a vaccine, bacterial vaccine or toxoid for a certain infectious disease to produce immunity in susceptible people. Sometimes active immunization is used in combination with passive immunization to improve the preventive effect. The method to be adopted should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.

Through the above introduction, we have a good understanding of the knowledge of infectious disease prevention. Therefore, the prevention of this type of disease should be carried out according to the above methods. However, in daily life, we must also have good living habits and make reasonable arrangements for diet, work and rest, and exercise so that the body can develop healthily.
