Infectology is a specialty of medicine dedicated to the study and treatment of diseases caused by infectiuos agents such as viruses, bacteria, parasites and fungi.<\/p>

In addition, it deals with issues related to infectious pathologies such as febrile syndromes, chronic viral diseases, infections linked to tropical pathologies, management of epidemic outbreaks and rationalization in the use of antibiotics.<\/p>

It also provides support in complex conditions such as severe infections related to surgery, cancer or other types of immunosuppression. It also incrporates the concepts of prevention and treatment of infections in different environments such as the community, hospitals and other patient care centers.<\/p>

VIRAL INFECTIONS<\/p>

Viruses are entities made of genetic material within a protein coat. Viruses cause common infectious diseases such as the common cold<\/a> and the flu<\/a>, but they are also responsible for more serious infections such as HIV and AIDS<\/a>, \u00a0Ebola<\/a> and COVID-19<\/a>. Viruses are like hijackers that invade living, normal cells and use them to multiply and in many cases spread. Different viruses attack different cells in your body, and can potentially infect any organ or system of the body.<\/p>

The classification of viral infections according to the most affected apparatus (e.g. lungs, gastrointestinal tract, skin, liver, central nervous system, mucosa) can be clinically: respiratory, gastrointestinal, exanthematous, hepatic, neurological, hemorrhagic, cutaneous or mucosal, multisystemic and nonspecific febrile infections.\u00a0<\/p>

At Liomont we have therapeutic options for different viral infections related to Herpes Virus and Influenza virus strains.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

BACTERIAL INFECTIONS<\/p>

Bacteria are living things that contain only one cell. Under a microscope, they look like spheres, rods or spirals. Of the great variety of existing bacteria, approximately 1% cause diseases.<\/p>

Infectious bacteria reproduce rapidly inside the body and can cause disease. Many give off chemicals called toxins, which can damage tissues. Examples of bacteria that cause infections include \u00a0streptococcus<\/a>, staphylococcus<\/a> and E. coli<\/a>.<\/p>

The usual treatment is with antibiotics<\/a> of which there is a great diversity and they are classified by groups according to their chemical composition.<\/p>

Main groups of antibiotics: 1.-Aminoglycosides, 2.-Betalactams, 3.-Amphenicols, 4.-Glycopeptides, 5.-Lincosamides, 6.-Macrolides, 7.-Nitroimidazoles, 8.-, Oxazolidinones.-, 9.-Quinolones, 10.-Rifamycins, 11.-Sulfonamides, 12.-Tetracyclines, 13.-Miscellaneous, such as trimethoprim, nitrofurantoin and fosfomycin, among others.<\/p>

Liomont produces different types of antibiotics, from the quinolone group, macrolides, nitroimidazoles and others.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Parasitic diseases can be acquired through contaminated food or w\u00e1ter (such as fascioliasis or taeniasis), insect bites (such as malaria or sleeping sickness) or sexual contact (such as trichomonas), and can cause anything from mild discomfort to death. Physicians use the term \u201cparasites\u201d to refer to:<\/p>
