Acute infection A short-lived infection appears rapidly with severe symptoms. Focal infection Pathogen spreads from a local infection to other tissues. Chronic infection The infection continues for a longer period and has less severe symptoms. Mixed infection Several pathogens concurrently establish themselves at the same time. Primary infection It is the initial or first-time exposure to and being infected by a pathogen.
