METHODS FOR EARLY DETECTION OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES

Early detection of infectious diseases is important for ensuring epidemiological stability in the healthcare system, reducing disease complications, and preventing the spread of infection. In modern medicine, the improvement of laboratory, clinical, and instrumental diagnostic methods is expanding the possibilities for detecting infectious diseases at an early stage. This article analyzes the role of clinical screening, microbiological and serological examinations, molecular biological methods, rapid diagnostic tests, and digital epidemiological monitoring systems used in the early detection of infectious diseases. The results of the study show that the integrated use of early diagnostic methods can alleviate the course of the disease, reduce mortality rates, and ensure the efficient use of healthcare resources.
