Question

What is Exogenous infection

Answer 1

Exogenous infection refers to an infection that is caused by microorganisms that originate from outside the body. In other words, the microorganism comes from the external environment and enters the body, leading to an infection. This can occur through various means such as direct contact with contaminated objects or surfaces, inhalation of airborne microorganisms, or the introduction of the microorganism through a breach in the body's natural barriers (such as cuts or surgical wounds). Exogenous infections can affect various parts of the body, including the skin, respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract, and bloodstream.
