Disease/Condition Glossary
Fungal infection: A fungal infection occurs when a fungus invades the skin, causing symptoms such as scaly skin, blisters, itching, swelling, irritation, and redness. These infections can be contagious, spreading through direct contact with an infected person. Antifungal treatments are typically used to address these conditions.
Bacterial infection: A bacterial infection develops when harmful bacteria enter and multiply in the body. It can affect any organ or part of the body and spread rapidly. Bacteria can be spherical, rod-shaped, or spiral-shaped and may be classified as gram-positive (with thick cell walls) or gram-negative (lacking cell walls). Symptoms of bacterial infections often include fever, cough, and fatigue.
