Infectious
Definition:
(a.) Having qualities that may infect; communicable or caused by infection; pestilential; epidemic; as, an infectious fever; infectious clothing; infectious air; infectious vices.
(a.) Corrupting, or tending to corrupt or contaminate; vitiating; demoralizing.
(a.) Contaminating with illegality; exposing to seizure and forfeiture.
(a.) Capable of being easily diffused or spread; sympathetic; readily communicated; as, infectious mirth.
Example Sentences:
(1) The extent of the infectious process was limited, however, because the life span of the cultures was not significantly shortened, the yields of infectious virus per immunofluorescent cell were at all times low, and most infected cells contained only a few well-delineated small masses of antigen, suggestive of an abortive infection.
(2) Although antihistamines are widely used for symptomatic treatment of seasonal (allergic) rhinitis, the role of histamines in the pathogenesis of infectious rhinitis is not clear.
