PID (Post Infectious Diseases)

Post Infectious Diseases (PID) refers to health problems that develop after an initial infection has been fought off. Sometimes, even after the infection clears, the body continues to experience symptoms or new health issues, such as fatigue, pain, or organ damage. This can happen because the infection triggered ongoing inflammation or triggered the immune system to react in ways that harm the body. Managing PID involves medical care, monitoring, and supportive treatment to help the body recover and reduce long-term effects. It highlights how some infections can have lasting impacts beyond the initial illness.
