Disease/Condition Glossary
Bacterial infections: A bacterial infection is when harmful bacteria enter, multiply and infect the body. It can target any organ of the body and multiply very quickly. Many bacteria give off chemicals called toxins, which can damage tissue and make you sick. Bacterial infections vary from minor illnesses (like sore throat and ear infections) to severe brain infections (like meningitis and encephalitis). When infected with bacteria, you can experience generalized symptoms like fevers, chills and fatigue. A few harmful bacteria commonly cause infections include Streptococcus, Staphylococcus and E. coli. Anyone can get a bacterial infection, but people with a weak immune system or taking immunosuppressive medicines like steroids are more prone to infections.
Diarrhoea: It is a medical condition in which a person faces loose, watery stools or a frequent need to have a bowel movement.
Protozoal infections: Protozoal infections are any illness or condition caused by protozoa (tiny one-celled organisms which can cause infections).
Colitis: Colitis is an inflammation of the colon, which is the largest portion of your gut. The last stage of your food's trip through your digestive system is the colon. Inflammation in your colon can disrupt this journey, producing pain, diarrhoea, and even blood in your stool (faeces).
Bacteremic salmonellosis: Bacteremic salmonellosis (a bacterial infection of the intestine). Salmonella bacteria normally reside in the intestines of animals and humans and are excreted in the form of stool (faeces). Humans are most commonly infected by contaminated water or food.
