L5: General Epidemiology of Communicable Diseases (General Prevention of Droplet, Airborne & Contact Infections) Flashcards
Prevention of infectious diseases mainly depends on cutting infectious cycle by applying many interventions either General or Specific
..
General prevention of communicable diseases depends mainly on 2 items of infection cycle:
- Increased host Resistance: as it empower resistance towards all infectious agents

Def of Health Promotion
Achievement & maintenance of optimum level of health
Importance of Health Promotion
a. Health education
b. Sanitary environment
c. Socio-economic development
d. Healthy life style βgood Nutrition - physical activity - avoid bad health habits like smokingβ
e. Health Legislation
Coughing, sneezing, speaking or even breathing of Case or Carrier result in minute droplets that can infect new host by :
- Droplet Infection (Direct)
- Air-Borne (Indirect)
Droplet infection = Direct transmission
Air-borne infection = Indirect transmission
β¦β¦ is the most difficult mode of transmission to prevent.
