What is an "infection"?
An infection is the process in which harmful bacteria, viruses, fungi, or other microorganisms invade and multiply in the body, causing illness or disease. This invasion can lead to various symptoms such as fever, inflammation, pain, and fatigue. Infections can spread through direct contact, contaminated food or water, or through the air. The body’s immune system typically responds to fight off the invading microorganisms, and treatments may include antibiotics, antivirals, or other medications to help eliminate the infection and ease symptoms.
