There are two types of abscesses:
- septic
- sterile
Most abscesses are septic, which means that they are the result of an infection.
If a concept has a meaning (based on its FSN and text definition) that does not specify whether the abscess is sterile or septic, then the concept should not be modeled as septic; the concept's logic definition uses 116676008 |Associated morphology (attribute)| with the value 44132006 |Abscess (morphologic abnormality)|.
