DEFINITION of ABSCESS
~Abscesses occur when an area of tissue becomes infected and the body’s immune system tries to fight it.
~A collection of pus (dead necrophiliacs) in any part of the body that, in most cases, causes swelling and inflammation around it.
~White blood cells move through the walls of the blood vessels into the area of the infection and collect within the damaged tissue.
