[QUOTE="Decoligny, post: 2899856, member: 41077"] Apparently an "encapsulated abscess" occurs when a localized infection leaves a pocket of pus surrounded by inflamed tissue. Some of the inflamed tissue turns into a capsule of scar tissue and you end up with an enclosed capsule of infected pus inside your body. Once encapsulated, the pus is sealed off from any anti-biotics you are taking. The capsule can break down over time, or be broken by an impact, and a leak can release a new infection into your system. Thus the fever and chills. This recurs when they don't get 100% of the infection out during the removal surgery. I am not a doctor, so don't take any of the above as gospel, I only have an interest in physiology. [/QUOTE]
