saada tartunta


Definition from Terveyskirjasto:
Mikrobit vaihtelevat sen suhteen, miten herkästi tartunta johtaa sairauteen, ja toisaalta, miten vakavan sairauden tartunta aiheuttaa.

Example sentence(s):
  • Eläimissä voi esiintyä viruksen alatyyppiä, joka on aiemmin aiheuttanut infektioita ihmisellä, mutta ihmisten vaara saada tartunta ja sairastua on pieni. - Valtioneuvosto  
  • Tuberkuloosibakteereja leviää ilmaan, kun tautia sairastava puhuu, laulaa, yskii tai aivastaa. Samassa sisätilassa, esimerkiksi huoneessa, oleskeleva ihminen voi saada bakteereita keuhkoihinsa hengitysilman mukana ja saada tartunnan. - tuberkuloosi.fi  
  • Yleisvaaralliseen tai valvottavaan tartuntatautiin sairastuneen ja sairastuneeksi perustellusti epäillyn henkilön on ilmoitettava asiaa selvittävälle lääkärille tartuntataudin leviämisen estämiseksi käsityksensä tartuntatavasta, -ajankohdasta ja -paikasta sekä niiden henkilöiden nimet, jotka ovat voineet olla tartunnan lähteenä tai saada tartunnan. - Tartuntatautilaki
