Disseminated

Disseminated is a term used in medicine to describe a widespread or widely dispersed process in the body.

From the Latin disseminatus, meaning "scattered."

Disseminated processes usually involve multiple lesions in various organs or tissues. For example:

1. Disseminated tuberculosis - when tuberculosis lesions are observed in the lungs and other organs at the same time.

2. Disseminated intravascular coagulopathy is a blood clotting disorder in which microthrombi form in many capillaries.

3. Disseminated herpes infection is the spread of the herpes simplex virus throughout the body, affecting various organs.

Thus, disseminated means that the process has a widespread, multiple and scattered nature of the lesion. This term is widely used in medicine to describe such conditions.
