Blood infections are infectious diseases, the causative agents of which are localized mainly in the blood and lymph, and infection occurs mainly through a transmissible transmission mechanism.
Blood infections include:
-
Typhus is an acute infectious disease with a transmissible transmission mechanism, characterized by fever, intoxication and rash. The causative agent - Rickettsia prowazekii is transmitted through lice.
-
Relapsing fever is a group of infectious diseases caused by spirochetes and transmitted by arthropods. These include epidemic typhus, Brill's disease and rat typhus.
-
Hemorrhagic fevers are a group of particularly dangerous infectious diseases of humans and animals, accompanied by fever, hemorrhagic syndrome and high mortality. These include Ebola, Marburg, Lassa, Crimean hemorrhagic fever, etc.
-
Tick-borne infections are human infectious diseases whose pathogens are transmitted by the bites of infected ticks. The most common are tick-borne encephalitis, Lyme disease, and rickettsial infections.
-
Mosquito fevers are infectious diseases transmitted by mosquitoes. These include malaria, yellow fever, dengue fever, chikungunya, Zika, etc.
Thus, blood infections are a large group of dangerous diseases with a vector-borne transmission mechanism that require special preventive and control measures. Prompt diagnosis and treatment of these infections is critical to prevent severe complications and death.
Blood infectious diseases
Blood-infectious diseases - this term refers to diseases specific to an animal source, caused by protozoa and having many similar characteristics in humans: a population of Protean symbiotes, in relation to which the animal becomes a pathogen. The predominant transmission mechanism is using tissue
