DISEASES

2. COMMUNICABLE
DISEASES
Communicable diseases spread from one person to
the other or from animal to person.

body fluids or contact with contaminated surfaces
etc.,
Examples: cough, cold, HIV etc.,

4. METHODS OF
TRANSMISSION
Direct transmission
Indirect transmission
Communicable disease perpetuates with
continuous transmission of infectious agent
from person to person by two methods:

Increasing the resistance of the host
Inactivating the agent
Interrupt the chain of the infection
Restricting the spread of infection
-Isolation

Examples of activities: case finding, health
screening and health education

12. TERTIARY PREVENTION
All measures available to reduce or limit
impairments and disabilities , minimize suffering
caused by existing departures from good health
and to promote the patients adjustment to
irremediable conditions
Intervention-late pathogenesis stage
Modes of intervention:
-Disability limitation
-Rehabilitation
