Infectious diseases

Infectious
diseases constitute the most common diseases group both in our country and in
the world, which are caused by microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, parasites and
fungi) in our body. Infectious diseases are diseases that can be
treated. Most of them end up with complete healing by giving appropriate
treatment.

reproduces. However, the symptoms do not have to appear during this
time. If disease symptoms occur with the infection, an infectious disease
