Infection Tendency — Which Doctor Should I See?

Infection tendency refers to an increased susceptibility to developing infections. It occurs when the immune system is weakened and cannot effectively fight off bacteria, viruses, or other pathogens that cause illness.

Common causes include immune system disorders, certain medications like corticosteroids, chemotherapy, HIV/AIDS, malnutrition, chronic diseases like diabetes, and lack of sleep. Recent surgery or injuries can also increase infection risk.

Practice good hygiene by washing hands frequently, avoid crowds during illness outbreaks, maintain a healthy diet, get adequate sleep, exercise regularly, and keep vaccinations current. Avoid touching your face and stay away from people who are sick.
