PREVENTION AND
CONTROL OF DISEASES
AND DISORDERS

INFECTION

Infection is a condition in which pathogens such as bacteria,


viruses, fungi, and protozoans enter the body and multiply. The
infection may result in tissue injury and even progress into a
disease.
Pathogens are disease-causing microorganisms. Pathogens work
in different ways which may result in diseases or illnesses. The
process of pathogens' invasion and the immune systems'
reactions undergo several stages.
WHAT ARE THE STAGES
OF INFECTION?

Incubation stage Prodromal stage

Convalescent stage

is the stage in which the symptoms


of the disease begin to fade and the
patient recovers his/her health and
strength.
Leading causes of
morbidity and mortality
in the philippines

What is morbidity and mortality?


Morbidity refers to the disease state or the "quality of being


unhealthful" of an individual. It is also a term used to describe
how often a disease occurs in a specific area.

Mortality refers to the condition of being subject to death. This


may also refer to the number of deaths in a population.
COMMUNICABLE
DISEASES

wHAT IS A COMMUNICABLE
DISEASE?
Communicable disease or infectious disease refers to any
illness that can be passed or transmitted from one person
to another, directly or indirectly, or through carriers
called vectors.
Epidemics or pandemics may result if the spread of a
certain disease will not be controlled.

Epidemic - refers to the rapid spread of infectious disease


to many people.

Pandemic - occurs when there is a global disease outbreak.


Communicable diseases may spread
through any of the following:
Direct Transmission - This is done through direct person-to-
person contacts such as kissing, touching, blood transfusions, or
sexual intercourse.

Indirect Transmission - This occurs when the pathogen is


transferred from one person to another indirectly such as by
touching objects.
Airborne Transmission - This occurs when pathogens such as
viruses or bacteria are transferred from one person to another
through small respiratory droplets or dust.

Vector-borne Transmission - This occurs when the pathogen is


being transferred through carriers or vectors like insects such
as flies, mosquitoes and fleas, or other animals.
common Communicable
diseases in the philippines
Acute Respiratory Infections - infection in the upper or lower
respiratory tract that prevents normal breathing.

Pneumonia - infection of the lungs wherein the air sac or alveoli


are filled with pus and fluid which limit oxygen intake.

Bronchitis - inflammation of the bronchial tubes, the air


passages between the nose and the lungs.
Influenza (flu) - a highly contagious viral infection affecting the
respiratory system.

Tuberculosis - an infectious bacterial disease that commonly


affects the lungs.

Dengue - a mosquito-borne disease mostly occurring in tropical


and subtropical areas.
PREVENTION OF Communicable
diseases
The following are personal health habits that you may observe
to prevent you from acquiring or spreading diseases:

Wash your hands regularly.


Avoid sharing personal belongings.
Stay and rest at home when sick.
Handle and prepare food hygienically.
Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze.
Avoid touching animals that may bring diseases.
Make sure you get vaccinated.
Properly disinfect and clean surfaces like toilet bowls, sinks, etc.
Aside from WASHCAMP, we actually have our own defenses
against infection. These are classified as follows:

Mechanical Defenses - They initially protect us from the possible


source of any cause of infection, be it internal or external.

Biochemical Defenses - These refer to the body's immune system


to fight against specific types of bacterial, viral, or fungal
infections. These may be natural or acquired immunity.
Acquired immunity - involves some blood cells that have acquired
the ability to recognize and destroy specific agents of infection.

Actively acquired immunity - develops when your body produces


antibodies that will destroy antigens and the toxins they release.

Artificially acquired immunity - is the process of vaccination or


immunization.

Passively acquired immunity - a person is given an injection with


antibodies that provides temporary immunity to an infection.
