- 3. •Primary Infection •Secondary Infection •Reinfection •LatentInfection •Cross Infection •Nosocomial Infection •Acute Infection •Chronic Infection •Opportunistic Infection
- 4. •Primary Infection –The initial or first infection caused by an infecting organism. •Secondary Infection – When the resistance level of the host is lowered due to a pre- existing infection, a new organism produces a disease. •Reinfection – Subsequent infection by the same organism in the same host. •Latent Infection – When the pathogens of a particular disease remains in a dormant(hidden) state but when the host immunity is lowered becomes active and cause infection. •Cross Infection – When a new infection from a patient or a healthy carrier is produced in an already infected person. •Nosocomial Infection – Cross infections acquired in hospitals. •Acute Infection – When an infection lasts only for a short time(few days to weeks). •Chronic Infection – When an infection lasts for longer period of time(months to years). •Opportunistic Infection – An infection with organisms which are normally harmless but produces infection when the host immune system is lowered.
- 5. • Healthy Carrier– Who carries the pathogen but remains healthy and not gets infected •Temporary Carrier – Who carries the pathogenic for less than 6months. •Chronic Carrier – Who carries the pathogen for a long period of time (few months to years). •Paradoxical carrier – Who acquires the pathogen from another carrier. •Contact Carrier – Who acquires the pathogen from a patient. •Convalescent Carrier – Who still carries the pathogen in his system after getting healed from the infection.
- 7. • Source ofInfection is host own body. • Causes Autoinfection. • Caused by organisms when they are misplace in the same body. • Eg- E.coli(normal commensal of GIT) causes UTI when passes to urinary tract, Streptococcus viridans(normal commensal of oral cavity) causes endocarditis when passes to endocardium through circulation.
