What is an Infection? The Different Types of Infections

The introduction will define what an infection is. It will then go over the different types of infections.

An infection is a term used for an illness that occurs when a person or animal is exposed to bacteria, viruses, parasites, or other infectious agents.

The three main types of infections are bacterial infections, viral infections and parasitic infections. These can be further broken down into many more categories with each category having different signs and symptoms.

What are Bacterial Infections?
Bacterial infections are caused by bacteria that enter the body through a cut, scratch, or burn in the skin. Bacterial infection symptoms can vary depending on which area of the body is affected and include fever, chills, headache, diarrhea, nausea/vomiting, pain and redness at the site of infection.

Types of Bacterial Medications
Bacterial infections can be treated with antibiotics. Antibiotics work by killing or slowing the growth of bacteria and other organisms that cause infection.

Bacterial infections are usually caused by one of the following bacterial strains:

– Staphylococcus aureus

– Streptococcus pyogenes

– Enterococcus faecalis

There are many types of medication to treat bacterial infections. Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections and these drugs include amoxicillin, cephalexin, erythromycin, and penicillin.

What is Shingles?

Shingles is a viral infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus. The virus is the same one that causes chickenpox–and it can cause shingles if the person’s immune system has been affected and weakened by something else, such as an illness or another disease.

The varicella-zoster virus stays dormant in nerve cells near your spine for many years after you recover from chickenpox. If your immune system becomes weakened, the virus may reactivate and travel along those nerves to the skin surface. A rash of blisters may appear on one side of your body along a strip of cutaneous (skin) nerves. This is called a zoster rash, which can also be called “shingles.”

Some people with Graves’ disease will have no symptoms at all or some typical like a rapid heartbeat, fatigue, weight loss, and irritability. Others will have more severe symptoms like bulging eyes, tremors in muscles, a feeling of being hyperactive, an inability to concentrate for more than five minutes at a time periods of extreme tiredness.
