A subsequent infection refers to an infection that occurs after an initial infection has already been established in a host. This can happen when the immune system is weakened or compromised by the first infection, making the body more susceptible to additional pathogens. Subsequent infections can be caused by the same pathogen or different ones and may complicate the clinical course of the illness. Effective management of the initial infection is crucial to prevent these secondary infections.
