Disseminated infection refers to the spread of the infection from a localized area to other parts of the body. In this case, the infection has spread from the throat to the meninges of the brain. The term "fatal infection" is too general and not specific to the situation described. "Mixed infection" refers to an infection caused by two or more different microorganisms, which is not applicable to the scenario described. "Localized infection" refers only to an infection in a specific area and does not encompass the spread to other parts of the body. "Chronic infection" refers to an infection that persists over a long period of time, whereas the scenario described suggests a more acute and rapid spread.
