Infection implies the presence and active growth of microorganisms, thus an infection could be of a bacterial, viral
or fungal origin, with the organisms often provoking an inflammation at the focus of the infection. Inflammation is
characterized by redness, swelling, increased temperature, etc., but these symptoms are caused by one's own
immune system, either fighting off the pathogen or repairing tissue damage, or both. It is also possible to have
inflammation, such as with a sprained ankle, without infection.
