How are Pediatric Infectious Diseases Transmitted?
Infectious diseases in children are transmitted through various routes:
- Airborne Transmission: Droplets from coughs or sneezes can spread diseases like the flu and measles. - Fecal-Oral Transmission: Contaminated hands, food, or water can transmit gastrointestinal infections. - Direct Contact: Skin infections can spread through direct physical contact or sharing personal items. - Vector-Borne Transmission: Diseases like Lyme disease can be transmitted via insect bites.
