The treatment of infection requires not only the expertise of doctors but also the scientific knowledge of the public. In-depth consideration of basic concepts, types of infection, treatment principles and prevention strategies helps to better understand and respond to infection. i. The basic concept of infection: the infection, in short, is the process by which pathogens (e.g. bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, etc.) enter and reproduce in the human body, leading to tissue damage and functional impairment. The infection can be partial or whole-body, the severity of which depends on the type, number, virulence and host ‘ s immune status.
II. Type of infection: The infection can be classified according to the type and area of infection of the pathogens. Common types of infection include: bacterium bacterial infections: bacterial-induced infections such as pneumonia, meningitis, urinary tract infections, etc. (c) Pneumonia virus infection: virus-induced infections such as influenza, AIDS, hepatitis, etc. Infection of fungi: infections caused by fungi, such as skin fungi disease, pyrococcus disease, etc. Chrysotile parasitic infections: infections caused by parasites, such as malaria, leachosis, etc. In addition, depending on the area of infection, it can be classified as respiratory, digestive, skin, etc.
III. Principles for the treatment of infection: The principles for the treatment of infection include, among other things, the following: a clear diagnosis: prior to treatment, it is necessary to identify the type and area of infection, in order to select a targeted treatment drug and method. Timely treatment: Once the infection is diagnosed, treatment should begin as soon as possible to prevent further deterioration. (b) Rational use of medicines: Based on the type of pathogens infected and the severity of the condition, appropriate antibacterial or other therapeutic drugs are selected and are used in a medically prescribed manner. Support for treatment: In addition to anti-infection treatment, there is a need for support treatment such as rehydration, nutritional support, respiratory support, etc. Prevention of complications: In the course of treatment, changes in the patient ‘ s condition should be closely observed, and possible complications should be prevented and addressed in a timely manner.
iv. Commonly used treatment methods: antiviral drugs (e.g., penicillin, septoacin, etc.) are used for bacterial infections; antiviral drugs (e.g., Ostave, Libaverin, etc.) for viral infections are used; and fungal infections are used for fungi drugs. (b) Treatment of the symptoms of the disease: the treatment of the symptoms of the disease is provided on the basis of the patient ‘ s specific symptoms, such as heat, pain, cough, etc. Vaccination treatment: certain serious infections, such as sepsis and AIDS, may require the use of immunotherapy medications, such as immunoprotein, interferon, etc., to increase the immunity of patients.
Prevention strategies: Prevention of infection is more important than timely treatment and effective prevention. The following recommendations are made to strengthen personal hygiene: to wash hands, to keep their bodies clean, to avoid touching public goods and to touch noses and noses. (b) A reasonable diet and exercise: a balanced diet with adequate nutrition; and regular and adequate exercise to increase physical immunity. Vaccination against specific infectious diseases. Avoiding exposure to the source of the infection: Minimizing the concentration of the population during the epidemic season or during the epidemic; wearing a mask and personal protection if necessary. Cleaning and decontaminating the environment: keeping the home and the working environment clean and hygienic; regular window-opening for air; cleaning and disinfecting of articles and surfaces that are frequently exposed.
While infection is a common health problem, we can defeat it with scientific awareness and effective treatment strategies. Basic concepts, types of infection, treatment principles and prevention strategies are expected to help to better understand and respond to infection. In our daily lives, let us work together to strengthen hygiene, a rational diet and movement, vaccination, avoiding exposure to the sources of infection and contributing to the health of ourselves and others.
