When the body fails to expel infectious agents, it can lead to persistent infections that may result in chronic inflammation, tissue damage, and a compromised immune response. This failure can occur due to various factors, including weakened immune systems, the ability of pathogens to evade immune detection, or the presence of biofilms. If left untreated, such infections can spread, leading to more severe health complications. Prompt medical intervention is often necessary to manage these situations effectively.

What is the disease that damages the human immune system leaving the body open to certain infectious agents?
hiv
Will infectious agents always affect the same organ or tissue they have entered?
No, infectious agents don't always affect the same organ or tissue they have entered. For instance, chickenpox virus (varicella) enters the body through the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract, but spreads throughout the body.
What infectious agents cannot live outside of a human body for extended periods of time?
human immunodeficiency virus
What role does mucous membranes play to keep the body healthly?
It protects against infectious agents such as fungi,bacteria and viruses.
What is the functions of mucous?
Mucus is found in the respiratory system of humans. The function of mucus is to protect the body from infectious agents such as viruses and bacteria.
Endogenous infectious agents arise from microbes that are?
naturally present or originate within the host's body, such as bacteria or viruses. These agents can cause diseases when they disrupt the body's normal functioning and immune response.
How do you acquire communicable diseases?
By coming in direct contact with people that have the disease, or if the nature of the illness is such that the infectious agent can survive outside the body by making contact with those infectious agents where they are left by the carriers of the disease.
What happens in our body when we have an infectious disease?

Is tear consider as infectious body fluid under universal precaution?
Yes, tears are generally considered infectious body fluids under universal precautions. Although the risk of transmission through tears is lower compared to other fluids like blood or saliva, they can still potentially contain infectious agents. Therefore, it is advisable to treat all body fluids, including tears, with caution and follow appropriate infection control practices.
What are the slimy secretions in the lungs that protect it from dust and infectious agents?
The slimy secretions in the lungs that protect it from dust and infectious agents are called mucus. Mucus traps particles like dust and pathogens, preventing them from entering deeper into the lungs. The cilia in the respiratory tract then move the mucus upwards so it can be expelled from the body.
Is non intact skin infectious?
Yes, non-intact skin can be infectious as it provides a pathway for pathogens, such as bacteria and viruses, to enter the body. Conditions like cuts, abrasions, or wounds can harbor infectious agents, making them potential sources of infection. Proper wound care and hygiene are essential to prevent infection when the skin barrier is compromised.
