👉 Asn:infection, or simply infection, is a biological process where a pathogen, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites, invades and takes over a host organism, leading to disease. This invasion occurs when the pathogen enters the body through various routes, including the respiratory tract, skin, or digestive system. Once inside, the pathogen can multiply and disrupt normal cellular functions, causing symptoms ranging from mild irritation to severe illness. The immune system responds by mounting an attack, but if the infection is severe or the host's defenses are compromised, it can lead to complications. Understanding asn:infection is crucial for developing effective treatments and preventive measures, such as antibiotics, antivirals, vaccines, and hygiene practices, to combat infectious diseases.
