Infectious diseases (ID’s), also known as transmissible or communicable diseases, are illnesses resulting from an infection. These diseases are caused by various biological agents such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, and other parasites which can be transmitted by animals, humans, insects, or other agents. Each year, millions of people across the globe are impacted by these infectious diseases. Infectious diseases pose a greater challenge today than they did even two decades ago due to the evolution and emergence of New bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other parasites. Coupled with emerging Antimicrobial Drug Resistance and accelerated spread due to population increase and migration ID’s are a major global concern.
Many infectious diseases have minor complications if diagnosed and treated appropriately in time. But left undetected and untreated, they can be life-threatening. Early diagnosis of ID’s can improve the effectiveness of treatments and avoid long-term complications for the infected patient. Early diagnosis can also help to prevent transmission or stop an outbreak of ID’s. Diagnostic tests can also aid in the identification and determination of effective and non-effective antibiotics for a particular infection thereby aiding in precision medication.
