It is usually used to reference a localized infection as opposed to a systemic infection. Systemic infections are those that affect the whole body or an entire system of the body and can also be called sepsis, septicemia, blood infection, blood poisoning, and bacteremia, etc.

The term local or localized infection is used to reference smaller infections in a single location in your body, like cellulitis of the skin or a bladder infection. Local infections can become whole body infections if left untreated or treated with the wrong medications. Common localized infections that can become systemic infections are pneumonia, urinary tract or bladder infections, appendicitis, and infections of cuts/skin infections.
