Blood Infectious Diseases

Blood infectious diseases are infections that affect the bloodstream and can be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites. Common examples include sepsis, bacteremia, HIV, hepatitis B and C, malaria, and dengue. These infections can result from poor sanitation, blood transfusions, or insect bites. Symptoms often include fever, chills, fatigue, and rapid heart rate. Treatment involves antibiotics for bacterial infections, antivirals for viral diseases, and supportive care for conditions like sepsis. Prevention includes safe medical practices, vaccination, vector control, and good hygiene. Early detection and prompt treatment are crucial to prevent complications and death.
