Explanation / Answer

Secondary infection - An example is influenza complicated by pneumonia. An infection that compounds and already existing infection is termed as secondary infection. Chronic Infection - Infections that progress and persist over a long period of time. Focal infection - The infectious agent spreads to other tissues from a local site. Focal infections are localized centrally at a focus, which is usually a local site that serves as source of infection. Localized infection - Microbes enter the body and remain confined to an specific tissue. Localized infections are confined or restricted to a particular location and do not spread through the body. Acute infection - Infections that come on rapidly, with severe but short-lived effect. Primary infection - The initial infection. Primary infection is an initial infection in a previously healthy person that is later complicated by an additional (or secondary) infection. Mixed infection - Several agents establishing themselves simultaneously at the infection site. Systemic infection - Infection spreads to several sites and tissue fluids, and may travel via nerves and CSF. Systemic infections occur throughout the entire body and invade many compartments and organs through the circulation.
