I recently had minor surgery and an endotracheal tube was used. The back of my neck is painfully sore as well as my jaw and throat. I am still having problems chewing food as it hurts my jaw. I had problems talking and eating the first two days following surgery due to an extremely sore throat and damaged vocal cords.
Infection vs Disease. Infection and Disease are two words that are often confused as one and the same. In fact these two medical terms are different in their meanings. Infection is understood in the sense of contamination. Contaminating air or water with harmful organisms is said to cause infection.nfection affects a person with disease. On the other hand disease is the end result of an infection. This is the main difference between infection and disease. In short it can be said that infection leads to disease. A person gets a disease if he or she carries an infection.
Before we go into the details of how does bacteria cause diseases, it is important to understand the difference between 'infection' and 'infectious disease'. When an organism is able to lodge itself in or the tissue of the host and multiply, it is called an infection. However, not every infection leads to a disease.f these infectious agents, one of the most common cause of serious illnesses in humans is bacteria. They are really, tiny microorganisms that are visible only with the aid of a microscope. These tiny microorganisms have a specific pathway that leads to development of an infection in an otherwise healthy person.
