What is difference between inflammation and infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Infection: Inflammation refers to the body's reaction to stimuli that are negative and can be due to allergy, toxins, tumors, trauma, and other things including infection. Infections are disease caused by things other than humans, such as bacteria, viruses, fungus, parasites and so on, and will produce an inflammatory reaction in the body.
