### Multiple Choice Question

**Which is mismatched?**

1. **Secondary infection -** infection acquired subsequent to a current infection.
2. **Localized infection -** infection stays at or near the entry site.
3. **Mixed infection -** several agents established at infection site.
4. **Focal infection -** infection moving throughout the body, such as through the bloodstream.

*(Note: There are no graphs or diagrams accompanying this question.)*

---

This multiple choice question is designed to assess the understanding of infection types. 

- **Secondary infection** refers to an infection that develops following another infection; it is not the initial infection but occurs as a subsequent complication.
- **Localized infection** means that the infection remains confined to the site where the pathogen entered the body.
- **Mixed infection** involves multiple pathogens working together at the site of infection.
- **Focal infection** is incorrectly described in this context; it is actually an infection that initially starts at a specific site but then can spread to other parts of the body. The correct term for an infection spreading throughout the body, often through the bloodstream, is "systemic infection" or "septicemia." 

Therefore, the mismatched option is:
4. **Focal infection** - infection moving throughout the body, such as through the bloodstream.
