Can any infection make your period late? 3 weeks late?

Depends: In general being sick can certainly delay your menstrual cycle. You did not specify what sort of infection you were referring to. If you think you might be pregnant check then check a home pregnancy test. They are cheap, reliable and available at any pharmacy.

Maybe-if it stresses: your body enough. Reasons for missed /late periods: low body weight, obesity, marked weight gain or loss, over-exercise such as in endurance athletes, breast-feeding, stress, illness, eating disorders (bulimia or anorexia), travel, hormone irregularities, drug use, medications (i.e., birth control) or med problem (polycystic ovary syndrome or Asherman’s syndrome. #1 reason is pregnancy.
