Carrier of Infectious Pathogen Chronic

N.v. And. X. is a person who retains and releases the causative agent of an infectious disease into the external environment for a long time after suffering from the disease.

Main characteristics of a chronic carrier:

1. N.v. And. X. retains the infectious agent in the body for more than 3 months after clinical recovery.

2. N.v. And. X. regularly or periodically releases the pathogen into the external environment (with physiological secretions, saliva, cough, etc.).

3. The carrier has no clinical manifestations of the disease, but the immune system is impaired.

4. N.v. And. X. poses an epidemiological danger, as it is a source of spread of infection.

5. The most common infections in which chronic carriage is formed: tuberculosis, salmonellosis, dysentery, viral hepatitis.

Thus, a chronic carrier is a person who secretes an infectious agent for a long time after suffering from an illness and poses a danger of infection to others.

Infectious agents are pathogenic microorganisms that can cause disease in humans. Carriers of infectious agents are people who have these microorganisms in their bodies, but do not show any symptoms of the disease. Carriers of infection can be dangerous to others, as they can transmit infectious agents to other people. Therefore, it is important to know how to properly handle carriers of infection and how to prevent the spread of pathogens in public places.

One of the most common carriers of infection is an HIV-infected person. This means that the person used drugs. There are several other ways a person can transmit a virus to another person. This can happen due to the use of shared dishes, towels, condoms or sexual relations. For people at high risk of contracting the HIV virus, there is an opportunity to seek help that will stop the processes associated with the disease and reduce the chances of illness for other people in our society. However, turning to specialists should be a last resort and it is better to first think about what other ways there are to support people with HIV in their conditions and not become a factor that could negatively affect them.
