What is a example of a general infection?
It is usually used to reference a localized infection as opposed
to a systemic infection. Systemic infections are those that affect
the whole body or an entire system of the body and can also be
called sepsis, septicemia, blood infection, blood poisoning, and
bacteremia, etc.
The term local or localized infection is used to reference
smaller infections in a single location in your body, like
cellulitis of the skin or a bladder infection. Local infections can
become whole body infections if left untreated or treated with the
wrong medications. Common localized infections that can become
systemic infections are pneumonia, urinary tract or bladder
infections, appendicitis, and infections of cuts/skin
infections.
