A thorough understanding of normal functions of living being provides a firm foundation to appreciate the altered function resulting in disease.

Medical professionals are faced with challenges of handling infected persons and material as part of their practice of medicine. They face the threat of dealing with infections which do not have a satisfactory cure. There is also an urgent need to contain the spread of infection if possible prevent it.
