It is common for us to fall ill due to infection.

An infection is defined to be a pathological state or a manifestation of diseases in a certain part of the body. It is due to external invasion of pathogenic or disease-causing microorganisms. Human and animal bodies will respond adversely the moment these foreign organisms colonized and attack their bodies. The battle between the immune system and the microorganism thus begins when these external organisms invade the body.

The most common reaction of the body to infection is inflammation. There is actually a war taking place when there is infection and it is between the host organisms and the foreign invading organisms. When the host organisms lose the battle, infection happens. The invading organisms come in the form of virus or bacteria.
