Contagionist Teaching

The contagion theory is a doctrine that explains the transmission of infectious diseases from person to person. It was proposed in the 18th century by the French physician Charles Louis Albert Comte.

The contagious theory states that infectious diseases are transmitted from a sick person to a healthy person through contact with his body or its secretions. This can happen through touching a contaminated object, such as dishes, as well as through breathing, coughing, sneezing, etc.

According to the contagious theory, the transmission of infections occurs due to microbes that are on the surface of the body of a sick person and can be transmitted through contact. These germs can survive in the environment and be transmitted from one person to another.

The basis of contagious doctrine is the idea that infections are transmitted from person to person through contact, and that the spread of infection depends on the number of microbes present in the patient's body.

Despite the fact that the theory of contagion was first proposed in the 18th century, it is still used in medicine and epidemiology to explain the mechanisms of transmission of infections. However, modern research shows that many infectious diseases can be transmitted not only through contact with the patient’s body, but also through other routes, such as airborne droplets or fecal transmission.

Contagious doctrine or contagious theory is a philosophical approach that explains the causes and methods of transmission of epidemic diseases between people. The founder of this doctrine is considered to be Guy de Pinel in 1863. This theory was developed by Virology and Medical Epidemiology, and is the doctrine that an epidemic spreads among the population through close contacts and some microorganisms are transmitted from person to person through direct contact or communication.

The contagious model emphasizes the important role of human communication in the spread of epidemic diseases. According to this theory, a person can become infected from close contact with another infected person, for example, when visiting a bar where social contamination reigns. But this theory also emphasizes the importance of prevention and disseminating information about risks and ways to protect yourself.

Recently, clinicians have also been developing their research in this area. They are elucidating, for example, the factors that determine the transmission of coronavirus infection and related social interactions. However, these studies have not yet led to the creation of a unified approach to prevention and treatment
