Problem with sources?[edit]
PrinceSulaiman, what is wrong with the sources? You just put problem tags here. This seems solid enough to me. Blue Rasberry (talk) 14:57, 12 July 2014 (UTC)

- Does this meet your expectations? No doubt this is a strange and rarely used term. Blue Rasberry (talk) 15:09, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
- Perfect, I'll remove the tag for now. Please make sure to improve on reference and also do not add Wikipedia's links on the Reference since you can use the Wiki-links instead. --Prince Sulaiman (talk) 15:12, 12 July 2014 (UTC)

Focus of infection =/= focal infection theory[edit]
Focus of infection, which apparently is an epidemiological term about a geographic location from which epidemics might spread in populations, whereas focal infection theory deals with pathology within one host, not a population. It is about a local infection, e.g. tonsillitis causing, say, infective endocarditis in the same host. Pages could be merged because the terms are similar I suppose, but there is a difference in meaning here and if merged both concepts would need to be covered. 94.196.232.188 (talk) 16:10, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
