Focal Infection Theory
Focal infection theory is the historical concept that many chronic diseases, including systemic disease, systemic and common ones, are caused by focal infections. In present medical consensus, a focal infection is a localized infection, often asymptomatic, that causes disease elsewhere in the host, but focal infections are fairly infrequent and limited to fairly uncommon diseases. (Distant injury is focal infection's key principle, whereas in ordinary infectious disease, the infection itself is systemic, as in measles, or the initially infected site is readily identifiable and invasion progresses contiguously, as in gangrene.)J Craig Baumgartner, José F Siqueira Jr, Christine M Sedgley & Anil Kishen, ch 7 "Microbiology of endodontic disease", in John I Ingle, Leif K Bakland & J Craig Baumgartner, eds, ''Ingle's Endodontics'', 6th edn (Hamilton Ontario: BC Decker, 2008)p 221–24 Focal infection theory, rather, so explained virtually all diseases, including arthritis, atherosclero ...
