Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Infection is caused in an individual body by disease-causing agents. In infection, the disease-causing agent multiplies and release the toxin inside the host body. The host cells will develop a certain reaction to inhibit the action of these disease-causing agents by generating an immune response against it. Infection can be caused by bacteria, fungi or protozoa. Infection ranges from inflammation in one person to an epidemic.
