Infection is invasion of the body by organisms (pathogens) that have the potential to cause disease. They may be bacterial, fungal, or viral.[1]

Circumcision infection

Circumcision is a surgical operation and amputation that creates an open surgical wound on the penis. The open wound does not heal immediately. For a period of time during and after the surgery it is subject to invasion by a wide variety of bacterial, viral, or fungal pathogens.[2] In cases of adult circumcision, erections may cause wound dehiscence (splitting open of the surgical wound) thereby increasing the risk of infection.[3]

Ritual circumcision

Professor L. Emmett Holt (1913) reported 41 cases of tuberculosis in ritually circumcised boys who had been infected by tubercular mohels, of whom 16 had died at the time of writing.[4] More recently, cases of infection of baby boys with herpes simplex have been reported. One death and brain damage in another has occurred.[5]

Ritual circumcision is a cause of urinary tract infection (UTI).[6][7][8][9]
