ARTICLES RELATED TO Infectious disease - Basics | | | |  Infectious disease - Basics: Encyclopedia II - Infectious disease - BasicsInfectious diseases are mostly caused by tiny microorganisms, often called microbes, that are invisible to the naked eye. Microbes that cause illness are also known as pathogens. The most common pathogens are various bacteria and viruses, though a number of other microorganisms, including some kinds of fungi and protozoa, also cause disease.

Infectious disease - Diagnosis.
Diagnosis is initially by medical history and physical examination, and imaging (such as X-rays), but the principal tool in infectious disease is the microbiological culture. In a culture, a growth medium is provided for a particular agent. After inoculation of a specimen of diseased fluid or tissue onto the medium, it is determined whether bacterial growth occurs. This works for a numb ...
