Infection is defined as the process by which germs enter a susceptible site in the body and multiply, resulting in disease. Infection is a common problem in persons with cancer. Persons with cancer are at increased risk of infection as a result of:
- The underlying disease, for example leukemia or lymphoma effects the body's normal defense against infection.
- Side effects of treatment that interfere with the body's normal defense against infection.
