Infectious Diseases: Control and Prevention

Treatment & Diagnosis

Bacterial Infections are treated by giving antibiotics to the patients. Medical diagnosis is the process of determining which disease or state explains a person's symptoms and signs. Laboratory tests may identify organisms directly for e.g., visually, using a microscope growing the organism in culture or indirectly for e.g., identifying antibodies to the organism. General types of tests include microscopy, culture and immunologic tests. Sub types of diagnoses include clinical, laboratory, radiology. Advanced methods have been implemented to diagnose the infection in any part of the body.
