Description
In medicine, infectious disease or communicable disease is disease caused by a biological agent such as by a virus, bacterium or parasite. This is contrasted to physical causes, such as burns or chemical ones such as through intoxication. While the word infectious can cause alarm, it is simply a term for a whole class of diseases. Infectious diseases need not be dangerous, and may not spread from person to person at all. Copyright Text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License.
