When a number of microbes are found in a part of our body where they are not normally present, causing inflammation accompanied by the corresponding clinical picture, then we have an infection.
Infections are usually characterised by the vital organ affected in each case e.g. urinary tract infection.

Infections and specific diseases constitute a significant part of medical practice as they pose a threat to public health and can have severe consequences for individuals. Infections are caused by microbes such as viruses, bacteria, parasites, and fungi, and can affect the body in varying degrees of severity. In this text, we will examine the most common infections and specific diseases, as well as their diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.
One of the most common infections is the respiratory tract infection, which can be caused by viruses or bacteria. Viruses, such as rhinoviruses, adenoviruses, and the influenza virus, are often responsible for common colds and the flu. Bacterial infections, such as bacterial bronchitis and pneumonia, can also cause serious health problems.
Another category of infections is those caused by parasites, such as malaria, leishmaniasis, and amoebiasis. These infections are common in areas with high prevalence of these parasites and can be fatal if not properly treated.
Specific diseases are those caused by particular microbes or pathogens and may be rarer compared to common infections. Examples include the HIV virus, which causes AIDS, and the Ebola virus.
The diagnosis of infections and specific diseases is usually conducted through blood tests, immunoassays, radiographic examinations, and microbial cultures. Treatment depends on the type and severity of the infection but typically includes medications such as antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, and analgesics.
Preventing infections involves proper hygiene, vaccination, protection from contact with infected individuals, and the use of condoms to prevent sexually transmitted infections. Additionally, strengthening the immune system through a healthy lifestyle, balanced diet, and exercise can help reduce the risk of infections.
