Infectious Disease

An infectious disease is caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites that enter the body and multiply. Common examples include flu, tuberculosis, HIV, hepatitis, and skin or respiratory infections. Early diagnosis helps prevent complications and spread.

Common symptoms include fever, fatigue, muscle aches, cough, sore throat, diarrhea, skin rashes, and weakness. Symptoms may vary depending on the type of infection and the organ affected.

Blood tests such as HIV, HBsAg (Hepatitis B), HCV (Hepatitis C), Syphilis (VDRL), ESR, Liver Function Test (LFT), and other infection markers help detect and monitor infectious diseases accurately.

Culture and Sensitivity testing identifies the exact bacteria causing an infection and determines the most effective antibiotic. It is commonly done using blood, urine, or sputum samples to ensure targeted treatment.

You should get tested if you have persistent fever, unexplained fatigue, repeated infections, exposure to an infected person, unprotected sexual contact, or before surgeries, pregnancies, or blood transfusions.
