👉 Ru:infection refers to the process by which a pathogen, such as a virus or bacterium, enters and begins to multiply within a host organism, typically causing disease. When a pathogen invades the body, it can exploit the host's cells for its own replication, leading to cellular damage and the body's immune response. This interaction can result in symptoms ranging from mild discomfort to severe illness, depending on the type of pathogen and the individual's health status. Infections can be caused by various means, including direct contact, ingestion, inhalation, or vector-borne transmission. Effective prevention and treatment involve understanding the specific pathogen, using appropriate hygiene practices, and employing medical interventions such as antibiotics for bacterial infections or antiviral medications for viral ones.
