About the project
An infection or inflammation? These terms are often used interchangeably, but they are not the same. An infection occurs when a pathogen such as a bacteria, virus, parasite or fungus enters your body and multiplies unchecked. Inflammation is the body's own protective response to substances or tissue damage. Inflammation can be caused by an infection, such as a bladder infection or pneumonia.
