Infectious diseases are caused by microorganisms — bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites — and can affect any organ system. Some resolve quickly with standard treatment; others require prolonged therapy, specialist investigation, or infection-control measures. Early identification of the causative organism guides effective treatment and prevents complications.
