Foyer inflammatoire

from the article "Les synoviortheses radio-isotopiques: une alternative a l'acide osmique"

Is a foyer inflammatoire a site of inflammation or is this too general for a technical text?
Is it an inflammatory focus? (in the plural inflammatory foci?) When I type in inflammatory focus or foci to google the majority of hits seem to take me to French - English dictionaries. This makes me a bit wary about the currency and accuacy of the term!
NB - I'm still getting the hang of Proz so bear with me while I work out how to do the points bit!
Thanks! :-)

inflammatory locus, locus of inflammation
Not just to sound more technical. The "locus" refers to the tissues where the inflammation is. The "site of the inflammatory locus" (which you will also see) refers to where it is in the body.:-)
