Children's infectious diseases in Antalya, Alanya, Kemer, Istanbul.
Infections are possible when pathogens such as viruses, bacteria or parasites enter the body, or through indirect transmission. Direct, indirect, respiratory or airborne infections can also be serious problems in childhood. The causative agent and treatment of infections that immediately activate the immune system in children also differ in different ways. Most often, infections are manifested by high fever. As a rule, patients are admitted to hospitals with febrile upper respiratory tract infections in childhood. As infections in the upper respiratory tract are not treated and progress, more serious infections in the lower respiratory tract may occur. In addition to respiratory tract infections, rash, rheumatic or parasitic infections also belong to childhood infections.
What are childhood infectious diseases?
Under normal conditions, that is, in a healthy human body, there are thousands of bacteria. But fungi, viruses and parasites are microorganisms taken exogenously. It has a pathogenic effect. Bacteria, except flora bacteria, which are in the body under normal conditions, have a pathogenic effect. As children have more contact with the outside world, other children, crowded schools and playgroups, children may be more vulnerable and susceptible to infection. Childhood infections are manifested by symptoms starting with fever, cough, nausea, vomiting, sweating. Respiratory infections caused by pathogenic microorganisms are as follows:
Upper respiratory tract infections
Nasopharyngitis
Acute tonsillitis
Otitis media (otitis media)
Rhinitis (Qatar)
Croup
Laryngitis
Bronchitis
Lower respiratory tract infections
Pneumonia (pneumonia)
Bronchiolitis
Infections that usually start due to bacterial and sometimes viral causes in the upper respiratory tract (nasal mucosa, pharynx, trachea) are cured within 7-10 days with treatment and follow-up. However, if left untreated, an infection progressing from the upper respiratory tract to the lower can develop into a serious course, such as pneumonia, bronchiolitis, meningitis. In addition to respiratory tract infections, pathogenic, parasitic and fungal infections may occur in children. The most common diseases among them are the following:
Measles
Chickenpox
Diphtheria
Meningitis
Red
Impetigo
5. Illness
CMV
Toxic shock syndrome
Toxoplasmosis
Acute gastroenteritis
Surface fungal infections
As a rule, in addition to contamination from other people, these pathogenic microorganisms enter the body with dirty water, soil and insufficiently clean food. When a foreign microorganism enters the body, the first finding is fever, which is the body's reaction to the functioning of the protective system. Depending on the type of pathogen and the area where it is located, symptoms vary from patient to patient. The most common conditions with fever are nausea, vomiting, muscle and joint pain, sweating, cramps, skin rash, redness of the skin.
