Medical abbreviation "Inf" - infection or inflammation?

[David26]

On very many of the Casualty lists, men's conditions include the abbreviation "Inf." such as the four examples in this list from June 1915:

I have also noted Inf. appearing before:

• dental periosteum, 
• frontal sinus,
• left tarsus,
• lungs,
• mouth,
• mucus membrane,
• intestines,
• lymphatic vessels of the arm,
• ribs,
• stomach,
• sub-maxiliary gland,
• tonsils.

I had originally speculated that Inf would stand for infection, but looking at the Nomenclature of Diseases, for example this page in the index, I now think that Inf. stands for Inflammation.  What do others think?

In the context of the casualty list I would agree - Inf = Inflamation
