Infections have varied patterns as defined by their characteristic or location. Rearrange the definitions below to match their proper infection. - Local infection: Organism enters the body and is confined to that location. - Systemic infection: Pathogen spreads from a local infection to other tissues. - Secondary infection: Infection spreads to other locations, including the circulatory system. - Acute infection: Short-lived infection that appears rapidly; severe symptoms. - Chronic infection: Infection continues for a longer period; less severe symptoms. - Mixed infection: Several pathogens concurrently establish themselves at the same time. - Primary infection: Initial or first-time exposure. - Subclinical infection: Does not cause apparent signs or symptoms; may persist over a long period of time. - Focal infection: Follows a primary infection and is caused by a pathogen other than that which caused the primary infection.
