What causes multiple infections in the body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Multiple infections: The answer would depend upon whether you are talking about many different types of infections (in which case it may suggest something deficient in your immune system), or you are asking about the same organism producing many different sites of infection (usually staphylococcal, but may be other pathogens). Maybe you could tell me more about what is going on an could answer more definitively.
