Infectious Disease Cause By Bacterium or Virus

November 15th, 2009 |

Infectious disease is caused by the entry into the body of a bacterium or virus. The first precaution is thus to “close the gates of entry”, namely:

Respiratory system: cough or sneeze into a tissue in his elbow, or hands (by washing it immediately after) to avoid contaminating the environment, wear a face mask when you meet people vulnerable (for example in some areas of the community hospital, immunocompromised persons) or carriers of highly contagious viruses (eg SARS), for artificial ventilation, use an antibacterial filter.
The digestive process: wash hands before eating or preparing a meal, or after exposure to body fluids (such as leaving the toilet) or disinfected when liquid from another person (eg accidental exposure to blood) for gloves (latex, or for people allergic to PVC or Nitrile) when such exposure is likely.
Breaks the skin: any serious wound must be shown to a doctor who will tae the necessary measures and any simple wound must be cleaned, disinfected or better (see Article minor cuts and bruises), but the first caution of course is to avoid being wound, respecting the safety rules for certain activities and wearing appropriate protection (gloves work)
Ocular: Avoid rubbing your eyes and wash hands before where it would happen in case of exposure to body fluids, wear protective goggles.
Sex use a condom to reduce the risk of transmission of sexually transmitted diseases.
