 COMMUNICABLE DISEASE

Most commonly known as

Infectious diseases are caused
by pathogens which can be
transmitted from one person to
person, animal to person and
through contaminated object
What causes Communicable Diseases?

PATHOGENS
 PATHOGENS

❑ are tiny ❑ it infect or invade the

microorganism that body and attack its
causes diseases to cells and tissues.
its host, also known
as infectious/
disease agent.
PATHOGENS which causes Communicable
Diseases

Bacteria Fungi
-small single celled -an organism that has no
organism, also called chlorophyll, must live in
germs. or on plants, animals or
decaying materials.
Virus
Toxins Parasites
-the only pathogen
-an organism that lives
that can replicate -substances
on or in a host organism
within a host created by plants
and get its food from or
and animals that
organism. are poisonous
at the expense of its
host.
(toxic) to humans.
 MODES OF TRANSMISSION
Direct Indirect

● Kissing ● Coughing
● Handshake
● Sleeping with
someone
1. Contact transmission 1. Droplet transmission
2. Food-borne/ water-borne 2. Air-borne transmission
transmission
3. Vector-borne transmission

● Mosquito bites
● Insect bites
What is INFECTIONS?

▪  Infections is the attack and

multiplication of microorganisms
such as bacteria, fungal, viruses, and
parasites.
▪ Some examples of infections are
bacterial infection viral infection,
and fungal infection
 What is DISEASE?

 
▪ Disease is a condition in which the
normal structure of the body is
damaged or impaired.
GUESS THE WORD # 2

SYMPTOMS
 What is the Difference between
SIGNS and SYMPTOMS?
Communicable disease is an infectious diseases caused by
SIGNS is a clinical
pathogenssign
whichthat
can becan be measured,
transmitted and to
from one person observed by
physicians person,
 
animal to person and through contaminated object

Disease – is a condition in which the normal structure of the

SYMPTOMS bodyis anis damaged

or impaired.
potential health issue which cannot be measured by physician.
Infections – is the attack and multiplication of microorganisms
Example: such as bacteria, fungal, viruses, and parasites.

Medical issue: Signs: Symptoms:

COVID 19 Fever Loss of smell or taste
 f In f e c t io n
Stages o
❑ the recovery period in which symptoms of
infection disappear. Length may take several
days to months

❑ Begins when more specific signs and symptoms

appear.
❑ It starts from the onset on non-specific signs
and symptoms such as fever.

❑ It is the period of starting from the entry of the

pathogen until the appearance of the first sign.
 MATCHING TYPE

a. presence of specific signs &

symptoms of disease
1.Prodromal Stage
b. person is most infectious, vague
2. Recovery Stage and nonspecific signs of disease

3. Incubation Stage c. recovery from the infection

4. Illness Stage d. organisms growing and

multiplying.
