Infection Control

Infection Control. An infection is the invasion of tissues by pathogens, their multiplication, and the reaction of host tissues to the infectious agent and the toxins they produce. An infectious disease, also known as a transmissible disease or communicable disease, is an illness resulting from an infection.

There are many ways to control infection. Some of the most important include:

• Handwashing is the single most important way to prevent the spread of infection. Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after using the bathroom, before eating, and after being around someone who is sick.
• Cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze. This will help to prevent the spread of germs through the air. You can use a tissue or your elbow to cover your mouth and nose.
• Get vaccinated. Vaccines can help to protect you from many common infections, such as measles, mumps, rubella, chickenpox, and influenza.
• Avoid contact with people who are sick. If you can, avoid contact with people who are sick, especially if they have a contagious disease.

• Get enough sleep. When you’re well-rested, your immune system is better able to fight off infection.

In addition to these general tips, there are also specific infection control measures that may be necessary in certain settings, such as hospitals, healthcare facilities, and schools. These measures may include the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), such as gloves, masks, and gowns, and the implementation of isolation procedures.

If you are concerned about infection, talk to your doctor. They can help you to assess your risk and recommend specific infection control measures that may be right for you.
