Summary/Abstract: Focal infection is a present hidden infection inside the body that is not strong enough to cause symptoms and most often patients don’t know about its presence. By the physiological paths the organism can suppress it, but when a decrease in the immune protection occurs (virus, stress, fatigue) the focus of infection overcomes local protection and affects by the connective tissue distant organs and systems (heart, kidneys, joints, eyes, skin). Focal infection can be the genuine cause for some diseases (ear infections, pyelonephritis, arthritis, alopecia areata) or aggravation factor for others. Very often even doctors consider directing patients for focal infection diagnostics, when have run out of therapeutic possibilities. That’s why focal infection is a major medical problem and both doctors and patients pay much more attention. Infrared thermography is a contemporary method for non-contact thermodiagnostics and for short time the whole body temperature can be registered as thermal pictures. This happens by infrared camera that is highly sensitive and hi-tech technology that registers the infrared spectrum radiating from the object of surveillance. After a thorough computer analysis, the different foci and their activity can be differentiated. As a contemporary method for focal diagnostics infrared thermography gives guidelines for finding focal infection in the whole body in unclarified cases. Moreover, it’s a method that distinguishes with detailed information, possibility for precise software analysis and direct digital data transfer that’s why infrared thermography has its important place in the diagnostics of focal infection.
