Autoinfection

Autoinfection is a condition in which the body itself becomes a source of infection. This can happen when bacteria or viruses that normally live in the body begin to multiply and cause illness.

Autoinfections can be caused by various reasons, including decreased immunity, stress, poor diet and other factors. They can manifest with various symptoms such as cough, runny nose, sore throat, diarrhea and others.

To prevent autoinfections, you need to monitor your health and practice good hygiene. For example, you need to wash your hands before eating and after visiting public places, and also avoid touching your face with dirty hands.

If you suspect you may have an autoinfection, consult your doctor. He will be able to diagnose and prescribe treatment if necessary.

Autoinfection (autoinfection, from autogenes - self-generating, self-generating, from autogenous - self-generated, endogenous origin) is a type of infection in which bacteria and viruses in the patient’s body are in a latent state. Most often, chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract lead to this condition:

- stomach and duodenal ulcers; - gastritis with increased secretion; - gastroduodenitis; - irritable bowel syndrome.

Autoinfection is often accompanied by chronic stress, which usually accompanies the life of a modern person and provokes relapses of chronic diseases. An organism affected by an infectious agent tries to protect itself from its effects; to do this, it activates its own reserves, and, according to the principle “the best medicine is poison,” triggers autoimmune processes. This situation in medical practice is called immunodeficiency syndrome and is one of the reasons for the development of chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.
