Communicable Disease
The threat of communicable diseases in India is high for obvious reasons like poor sanitation, poor hygiene and lack of clean drinking water. Statistics show that about 1.2 billion people are vulnerable to falling sick due to communicable diseases in India. However, many cases usually go unreported, and infection is not diagnosed until it becomes symptomatic. Though mortality from infectious diseases is decreasing in India, it is a significant part of the nation's disease burden.
The term "communicable diseases" refers to ailments that spread among people by coming in contact with bodily fluids, breathing in airborne viruses and insect bites. People in developing nations are often found to be affected by these diseases because of a lack of appropriate hygiene habits and an improper healthcare system.
Malaria
One of the most prevalent and fatal infectious illnesses, Malaria, is caused due to plasmodium parasite. An infected mosquito bite that enters a healthy human body spreads this parasite causing common symptoms like chills and a very high temperature.
Typhoid is a bacterial infection that spreads throughout the body and harms many organs. It can lead to significant problems and even be deadly if not diagnosed in time. Salmonella typhi, a bacterium similar to those that cause food poisoning called Salmonella, is one of the major causes of this virus.
A potentially infectious and deadly illness that attacks the lungs is Tuberculosis (TB). One can contract TB from one another by coughing or sneezing tiny droplets of germs into the air.
The virus known as Human Immunodeficiency Virus attacks the immune system of the body. AIDS can develop from HIV if it is not treated or diagnosed in time. There isn't a remedy that works right now. People who get HIV are permanently infected. However, HIV can be managed with the right medical attention. People with HIV can live long, healthy lives and safeguard their relationships if they get timely and proper treatment.
Hepatitis is liver inflammation, and swelling caused when bodily tissues are harmed or infected. It can potentially harm your liver as the swelling might damage your liver's function if not treated in time. It can either be an acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term) infection. Some strains of hepatitis only produce acute illnesses. Other kinds are capable of causing both acute and chronic infections.
The flu (influenza) is an illness of the respiratory system, throat, nose and lungs. The term "flu" comes from influenza; however, it is not similar to viruses that cause diarrhoea and vomiting.
