Infectious Disease Therapeutics; Depend On Which Microorganism Causes the Infection
Infectious disease therapeutics include supportive therapies,
antibiotics, and antiviral drugs, antibacterial drugs, anti-parasite drugs,
anti-infective drugs, and antifungal drugs. Infectious diseases are disorders
caused by organisms, such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, or parasites. They are
normally harmless or even helpful. However, under certain conditions, a few
organisms can cause infection. Infectious diseases such as Influenza, malaria,
tuberculosis, and HIV are highly prevalent and can be diagnosed efficiently
with the help of diagnostic tests.
Thus, with the increasing prevalence of the infectious disease
worldwide, the demand for safe and effective infectious
disease therapeutics is also increasing. According to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2018, around 9,025 new cases of
tuberculosis, 60,999 new cases of salmonella, 33,666 new cases of Lyme disease,
and 327 new cases of meningococcal disease were reported in the United States.
Moreover, in December 2019, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
launched CURE ID, an internet-based repository that will allow the clinical
community to report their experiences treating difficult-to-treat infectious
diseases.
Infectious disease therapeutics depend on which microorganism causes the
infection. Typically, supportive treatments are used to treat bacterial
infections. If bacteria cause disease, antibiotics treatment usually kills the
bacteria and ends the infection. Moreover, therapeutics involves various
laboratory techniques to identify samples such as urine and blood for the
detection and quantification of infectious agents. Most people recover fully
with treatment from infectious diseases, while some infectious diseases, like
HIV, cannot be cured yet.
Infectious diseases, such as trichomoniasis, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and
syphilis can be cured with the help of infectious disease therapeutics, while
some infectious diseases, such as human papillomavirus (HPV), hepatitis B, HIV,
and herpes simplex virus (HSV/herpes) are incurable, but medical treatments can
manage the disease. To relieve the symptoms and effects of the disease, medical
professionals use surgery, therapy, medicine, and other treatments. Treatment
normally begins either before signs and symptoms of the disease occur, or shortly
thereafter.
