What to Focus On

  • Health includes physical, mental and social well-being.
  • Disease is shown by signs and symptoms due to disturbed body functions.
  • Diseases are classified as infectious and non-infectious.
  • Pathogens may be bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoans or helminths.
  • Typhoid is caused by Salmonella typhi and spreads through contaminated food and water.
  • Pneumonia infects lung alveoli and is caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae.
  • Personal hygiene and public hygiene are essential for prevention.
  • Mosquito control is important for malaria and filariasis.
  • Vaccination has eradicated smallpox and controlled many other diseases.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Health means only the absence of disease or being physically fit.

All diseases spread from one person to another.

Typhoid, pneumonia, and common cold are caused by the same type of organism.
