    This document provides an overview of infections, including their definition, causes, courses, signs and symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. An infection is defined as the invasion of living tissues by disease-causing agents, their multiplication, and the host's reaction. Infectious agents include bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, and other microbes. Infections can be subclinical and cause no symptoms, or clinically apparent and cause symptoms. They may also have an acute or chronic course. Signs and symptoms vary depending on the infected body part but can include fever, fatigue, and rashes. Diagnosis may involve identifying the infectious agent directly through microscopy or biochemical tests, or indirectly through symptoms, signs, and epidemiological data
