Medical Complications

Infection is the invasion and multiplication of microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites that are not normally present within the body, potentially leading to disease. The body's immune response to infection can cause symptoms ranging from mild to severe, and understanding the mechanisms of infection is crucial for prevention and treatment.

Infection

A malfunction refers to the failure of a system, device, or process to operate as intended, often resulting in errors, inefficiencies, or hazards. Understanding and addressing malfunctions is crucial for maintaining reliability, safety, and optimal performance in various contexts, from technology to biology.
