- What is droplet infection?
- Infection by sucking coughing or sneezing (particles 0.005 mm in diameter = 5 μm or more). A common cold is caused by this. Air infection is the size of the microbe present particles. * Sneezing fly 1 to 2 meters.
- Droplet infection occurs
- For example, an infected person sneezes or coughs.
- Pathogen
- Here we deal with an example of pathogens (viruses, bacteria, fungi) infected
by droplet infection.
- Infuluenza virus
- It invades the cells of the animal's body and replicates the virus. Then it explodes and grows. It amplifies to several hundred thousand times a day. (Influenza may be expanded by contact infection.)
- Rhinovirus
- This is due to one third of adults' cold. It is common in spring and autumn, causing inflammation in the respiratory tract like nose and throat.
- RS virus
- In 2014 I got the highest number of infected people in the history of observation. Most children are infected by 2 years of age. Respiratory infections infected by infants.
- Mycoplasma pneumoniae
- Often infected via an instrument, it is susceptible to infection when resistance is decreasing.
- Mumps
- A latent period of 1 to 2 weeks causes sudden fever and swelling and pain in the ear (salivary glands). It also causes complications.
- Rubella virus
- It is infected by an infected person's cough. After incubation period, it causes fever, rash, lymph node swelling.
- Hemolytic
- It is easy to infect children's throat. With high fever, symptoms such as sore throat appear. It tends to be complicated.
- Meningitis
- Whooping cough
- Varicella virus
- Whooping cough
Let's think!
- How can we prevent droplet infection?
- Let's further consider the place and case where droplet infection occurs.
