Autoinoculation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Autoinoculation is the process in which cells are removed from a person's body, medically altered, then reinserted into the same person again.[1]

It is also the process of spreading infections from an infection already found in the body. For example warts and Molluscum contagiosum can be spread by this method [2]
