Disease/Condition Glossary
Bacterial infections: A bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria enter, multiply, and infect the body. Infectious or harmful bacteria produce chemicals known as toxins, which can damage tissue and cause sickness. Symptoms include fever, chills, and fatigue. Anyone can become infected with a bacterial infection. But, people with a weak immune system or taking immunosuppressive medicines are more prone to bacterial infection.
Infectious diarrhoea: Infectious diarrhoea is also known as gastroenteritis. It is the inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract (stomach and intestine). Infectious diarrhoea mainly occurs due to contaminated food and water. It is an intestinal infection marked by symptoms like diarrhoea, cramps, vomiting, nausea, and fever.
