Glossary of Diseases and Conditions

Bacterial infection is a situation in which dangerous bacteria enter our bodies, grow, and infect us. It may target any portion of the body and multiply swiftly. When bacteria infects you, you may have nonspecific symptoms such as fevers, chills, and exhaustion. Bacteria come in a variety of shapes, the most common of which are spherical, rod-shaped, and spiral-shaped. Bacterial infections range from simple ailments such as sore throats and ear infections to serious diseases such as meningitis and encephalitis. Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, and E. coli are some of the bacteria that cause illnesses. A bacterial illness can affect anyone at any time. People with weakened immune systems or those using immunosuppressive medications, on the other hand, are more susceptible to bacterial infection.

Entamoeba histolytica, a parasitic amoeba, causes amoebic dysentery, an intestinal (bowel) infection spread by human excrement (poop). There are usually no symptoms, although it can cause diarrhea (loose stool/poop), nausea (a sense of illness in the stomach), and weight loss in some people.

FAQs

Metronidazole is an antibiotic medication that only works on bacterial illnesses, not viral infections such as the common cold and flu. Metronidazole should not be taken without first visiting your doctor. Self-medication is risky and can reduce Metronidazole’s potency, resulting in antibiotic resistance.

If you forget to take a Metronidazole dosage, take it as soon as you recall. If the next dose is approaching, do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
