Because when the tooth is extracted. The poison from the decaying tooth will be released through the blood stream. If you are healthy your body can handle it and fight it off. However if you are already ill, It can have complications. The normal thing that most dentist do is hive antibiotics. Wait for you to get well and then extract the tooth.

When you have any ind of infection anywhere, the infection is in your blood, and you're more prone to infection in other places too. If you remove a decayed tooth, there's tons of bacteria in the crevice afterwards, and they give you antiviral/antibacterial stuff, but sometimes that doesn't kill all the viruses or bacteria. So.... don't remove a decayed tooth if you're sick. This includes infections on cuts and scrapes, as well as colds and flues.

Because your immune system is already down, and adding the millions of bacteria to the blood stream from removing your tooth, would cause you to become septic.

because your immune system is weakened and the hole in your mouth would be more succeptible to infection.
