Prophylactic antivirals and immunization acts to prevent infection once the agent is already in the body.

Antibiotics help to treat infection that has already developed

Secondary prevention involves detecting and treating a disease or condition in its early stages to prevent complications. In the context of suspected COVID-19 (caused by SARS-CoV-2), testing the child to determine the cause of their illness is a key step in secondary prevention. By identifying cases early through testing, appropriate measures can be taken to prevent further spread of the virus, such as isolation and contact tracing.

Direct transmission of communicable and infectious diseases occurs through close contact between infected and susceptible individuals. Isolation is a preventive method that targets directly transmitted diseases by physically separating infected individuals from those who are not infected.

Secondary prevention interventions for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) focus on early detection and intervention to reduce the impact of the condition. Early identification allows for prompt intervention and support, which can improve outcomes for children with ASD by facilitating access to appropriate services and therapies.
