bullet::::- "acute paronychia" is an infection of the folds of tissue surrounding the nail of a finger or, less commonly, a toe, lasting less than six weeks. the infection generally starts in the paronychium at the side of the nail, with local redness, swelling, and pain. acute paronychia is usually caused by direct or indirect trauma to the cuticle or nail fold, and may be from relatively minor events, such as dishwashing, an injury from a splinter or thorn, nail biting, biting or picking at a hangnail, finger sucking, an ingrown nail, or manicure procedures.

different terms are used to describe infections. the first is an acute infection. an acute infection is one in which symptoms develop rapidly; its course can either be rapid or protracted. the next is a chronic infection. a chronic infection is when symptoms develop gradually, over weeks or months, and are slow to resolve. a subacute infection is one in which symptoms take longer to develop then in an acute infection but arise more quickly than a chronic infection. a latent infection is a type of infection that may occur after an acute episode; the organism is present but symptoms are not; after time the disease can reappear. a focal infection is defined as the initial site of infection from which organisms travel via the bloodstream to another area of the body.
