Infectious diseases are disorders caused by organisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites.

They can be transmitted through direct contact with an infected person, animal, insect bites, or contaminated food and water.

Symptoms vary but often include fever, fatigue, muscle aches, cough, and digestive issues.

Diagnosis involves physical examinations, medical history review, and diagnostic tests such as blood tests, cultures, and imaging.

Treatments may include antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, antiparasitics, and supportive care depending on the type of infection.

A healthcare provider draws a blood sample from your vein, which is then analyzed in a laboratory to determine your blood type.

Risks include urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction, infection, and bleeding. These risks vary depending on the patient’s overall health and the surgical technique used.
