Best Answer

An infarction is tissue death, normally due to lack of oxygen. Fever would follow as the body tried to remove the dead tissue and rapidly replace it.

An infection is an invasion of the body by bacteria, and the fever is the body trying to increase its metabolic response to the disease organisms, mainly by increasing production of immune system cells.
