Is an open wound a local infection?
Yes, an open wound (cut, scratch, ect.) is considered a local infection. However, if left untreated, the local infection can turn into a systemic infection, affecting organs and tissues all over. For example, septicemia is considered to be a systemic infection (bacteria and other pathogenic organisms in the blood stream) that can occur from a simple cat scratch or other open wound.
