Nowadays infectious diseases are among the most serious problems as its main distinguishing feature is that an infected person spreads a pathogen into the environment and becomes a source of new infections.

There are different types of the infectious diseases: bacterial and viral, acute and chronic, with and without fever, as well as infectious diseases with prolonged fever.

The most common infections are:

influenza, parainfluenza, adenovirus, coronavirus, rhinovirus, respiratory syncytial viral infection, herpes viruses and viruses that cause hepatitis A, B, C, D, E, EBV, CMV;

infections of the skin and subcutaneous tissue (erysipelas, acute lymphadenitis, local infection of the subcutaneous tissue);

insect bite infections such as Borreliosis, Lyme disease, leishmaniasis, and others.
