👉 Infections often arise from failures in multiple critical areas, primarily related to hygiene, medical practices, and immune system responses. Poor hand hygiene among healthcare workers or patients is a significant factor, as it allows pathogens to spread easily. Inadequate sterilization of medical equipment and surfaces can also lead to infections, as bacteria and viruses can survive on non-sterile items. Additionally, weakened immune systems due to stress, malnutrition, or underlying health conditions make individuals more susceptible to infections. Failure to follow proper infection control protocols, such as the correct use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and isolation procedures, further exacerbates the risk. These combined failures create an environment where pathogens can thrive and cause illness.
