infection
تعدی


Explanation:
متعدی has been taken from this word تعدی

You can use any one of these translations like عفونت، چُھوت(given by Mr. M. Ikram) or تعدی but I think, the word infection انفیکشن itself is very commonly used in Urdu these days.

neutral  Muhammad Ikram: Don't you think sir that تعدی refers to transfer of disease from one person to another while infection refers to spread of disease within one body? Your thoughts on this please? Correct me if I am wrong.

  -> IMO, تعدی or infection is the spreading of the disease (germs) from one person to another person and the term used for spreading of bacteria within the body is 'Septicemia' or 'تعفن'
