    The mismatched term and description is "secondary infection - infection spreads to several tissue sites"

    Explanation:

    Below are the rightly matched terms and their descriptions:

    1) Secondary infection - an infection that occurs during or immediately after treatment for another infection. It may be caused by changes in the immune system

    2) Mixed infection - several agents established at infection site. Here, different species of a pathogenic organism are implicated in causing an infection. So, it is named mixed infection.

    3) Acute infection - rapid onset of severe, short-lived symptoms. It refers an abnormal condition of recent or sudden onset, in contrast to delayed onset; this sense does not imply severity

    4) Local infection - pathogen remains at or near entry site. Here, pathogens attack a particular organ or site in the body.

    5) Toxemia - pathogen's toxins carried by the blood to target tissues. Also known as

    blood poisoning due to adverse reaction to toxic byproducts of systemic infection.
