CHAIN OF INFECTION
- CAUSATIVE AGENT
- RESERVOIR
- PORTAL OF EXIT
- MODE OF TRANSMISSION
- PORTAL OF ENTRY
- SUSCEPTIBLE HOST
Microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites, that can cause infectious disease.
ETIOLOGIC AGENT
The SOURCE which infectious agents live, grow, and multiply.
RESERVOIR
The route by which an infectious agent escapes or leaves the reservoir.
PORTAL OF EXIT
The way in which an infectious agent travels to other people and places because they cannot travel on their own.
MODE OF TRANSMISSION
The route by which an infectious agent enters a new host
PORTAL OF ENTRY
person at elevated risk for developing an infection when exposed to an infectious agent due to changes in their immune system defenses
SUSCEPTIBLE HOST
It takes place through skin-to-skin contact, as well as kissing and sexual intercourse
Direct
This involves contact between a person and a contaminated object. This is often a result of unclean hands contaminating an object or environment.
Indirect
It occurs when mucous membrane of the nose, mouth, or conjunctiva are exposed to secretions of an infected person Who is coughing, sneezing, laughing, or talking, usually within a distance of 3 feet.
droplet

EOSINOPHILS
Five subclasses of antibodies
- IgM
- IgA
- IgG
- IgE
- IgD
An anti body which is found mainly in the blood and lymph fluid, is the first antibody to be made by the body to fight a new infection.
IgM
An antibody which is found in high concentrations in the mucous membranes, particularly those lining the respiratory passages and gastrointestinal tract, as well as in saliva and tears.
IgA
An antibody which is the most abundant type of antibody, is found in all body fluids and protects against bacterial and viral infections.
IgG
An antibody which is associated mainly with allergic reactions and parasitic infections . It is found in the lungs, skin, and mucous membranes.
IgE
