👉 Pulled-infection, also known as invasive or intravascular infection, occurs when pathogens enter the bloodstream and migrate to various tissues and organs, often bypassing normal barriers like the skin or mucous membranes. This can happen through direct inoculation (e.g., from a wound) or via the circulatory system, where bacteria, fungi, or viruses travel through the blood to colonize sites within the body. Once inside, these pathogens can cause localized or systemic infections, leading to symptoms ranging from mild inflammation to severe complications like sepsis, abscesses, or organ failure. The term "pulled-infection" emphasizes the aggressive and often rapid spread of the infection, making it a critical condition that requires prompt medical intervention to prevent widespread damage.
