The results of our study are remarkably similar, because the light
focal infections were consistently found in a pallial organ, whereas heavier and more diffuse infections observed QPX in the visceral mass as well.
Negative leukocyte scans reliably exclude inflammation-causing
focal infection as a cause of undiagnosed fever.[19]
It was called
focal infection, and it was thought to be the cause of many of our mortal ills.

Salmonella infection can lead to (1) gastroenteritis, (2) enteric fever, (3) bacteremia, (4) extraintestinal
focal infection (EFI), (5) chronic carrier state, and (6) occasionally as bacteremia without gastrointestinal involvement that may lead to EFIs [5, 7].
The chance of developing
focal infection is high in diabetic patients [4] The greater frequency of infections in diabetic patients is caused by the hyperglycaemic environment that favors immune dysfunction (damage to the neutrophil function, depression of the antioxidant system, and humoral immunity).
All participants underwent drainage of their
focal infection and were randomized to 7 days of clindamycin or cephalexin.
