In infection control, the term "disease" refers to a pathological condition caused by an infectious agent, such as bacteria, viruses, or fungi, that disrupts normal bodily functions. It encompasses the clinical manifestations and symptoms experienced by an individual as a result of the infection. Effective infection control measures aim to prevent the transmission of these infectious agents, thereby reducing the incidence of disease in populations. The focus is on both preventing infections and managing outbreaks to protect public health.
