Also known as contagion, infections, case of infection, clinical infection, infectious
An infection is the invasion of tissues by pathogens, their multiplication, and the reaction of host tissues to the infectious agent and the toxins they produce. An infectious disease, also known as a transmissible disease or communicable disease, is an illness resulting from an infection.
An infection occurs when harmful microorganisms invade your body, multiply, and trigger a reaction from your immune system and tissues. Infectious diseases are the illnesses that result from these infections, and they matter because they can spread from person to person and cause significant health problems.
