Blood Infectious Diseases

Microorganisms such as viruses or bacteria that are carried in the bloodstream and can cause disease in humans are known as bloodborne infections. Malaria, syphilis, and brucellosis are among the many bloodborne diseases, as are Hepatitis B (HBV), Hepatitis C (HCV), and the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). HBV and HIV are bloodborne diseases that can be transmitted by coming into touch with infected human blood or other potentially infectious body fluids. These pathogens can spread from one person to another through a variety of means, including blood transfusions, sexual contact, open wounds, mucous membranes, and more. Health-care professionals are at risk of contracting blood-borne infections (HCWs).
