Medicinali per il trattamento delle infezioni

An infection is caused by the over-growth of a micro-organism somewhere in the body. Micro-organisms include bacteria, viruses and fungi amongst others. Bacterial infections are treated with antibiotics such as amoxicillina, eritromicina e ciprofloxacina. There are many different types of antibiotic, with different ways of working; the choice depends on the type of infection you have. Fungi commonly cause skin infections such as il piede d'atleta e tigna. Antifungal medicines like miconazolo e nystatin can be taken by mouth or applied directly to the affected area. Aciclovir is an antiviral medicine used to treat viral infections like fuoco di Sant'Antonio and herpes.
