👉 The term "crash due to infection" refers to a severe and rapid decline in health or function that occurs when an individual's body is overwhelmed by an infection. This can happen when the immune system struggles to fight off a highly virulent pathogen, leading to systemic inflammation, organ dysfunction, and potentially multi-organ failure. Symptoms may include high fever, intense pain, rapid heartbeat, confusion, and in extreme cases, shock or death. The body's resources are diverted to combat the infection, leaving fewer resources available for other bodily functions, resulting in a catastrophic breakdown of normal physiological processes.
