Droplet infection

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

 

Let's think!

  • How can we prevent droplet infection?
  • Let's further consider the place and case where droplet infection occurs.
