Viruses are a good example. They infect the body cells, make them produce replicates of themselves (new virus particles) and then the cells they have invaded are killed as the new virus particles burst open the cell to release the new particles to infect more cells. Until your body's immune system can create antibodies to inactivate the virus particles, this Lytic cycle of viral reproduction continues in each cell that is invaded. See the related question below about the Lytic cycle for more detail.
