post-infection sequelae
pathogenesis of glomerulonephritis
post-streptococcal sequelae
pathogenesis of strep throat
colonization of mucous production, followed by tissue production
pathogenesis of food-borne intoxication
invade tissue, followed by toxin production OR produce toxins which are then ingested
pathogenesis of scalded skin syndrome
invade tissue, followed by toxin production
pathogenesis of skin/wound infections
invade tissue

invasion of tissue
pathogenesis of covid
droplets
pathogenesis of HIV
horizontal or vertical
