Bacterial/Protozoal infection: It is a condition in which harmful bacteria/protozoa enter, multiply and infect the body. They can target any part of the body and multiply very quickly. These infections vary from minor illnesses like sore throat and ear infections to severe brain infections like meningitis and encephalitis. Anyone can get a bacterial/protozoal infection, but people with a weak immune system or taking immunosuppressive medicines like steroids are more prone to infections.
