In WHAT disease the symptoms develop rapidly, example the WHAT |
Acute...flu |
|
In WHAT disease it develops slowly, example is WHAT |
Chronic...lymes disease |
|
In WHAT disease the symptoms are between acute and chronic |
Subacute |
|
In WHAT disease there is a period of no symptoms when the causeitive agent is inactive, example WHAT |
Latent...herpes |
|
WHAT disease has no noticeable signs or symptoms, inapparent infection |
Subclinical |
|
WHAT is a toxic inflammatory condition arising from the spread of microbes, especially bacteria or their toxins, from a focus of infection |
Sepsis |
|
WHAT is bacteria in the blood aka blood poisoning |
Bacteremia |

WHAT is growth of bacteria in the blood, it's particularly dangerous |
Septicemia |
|
WHAT is toxins in the blood, example tetanus |
Toxemia |
|
WHAT is viruses in the blood, example is HIV |
Viremia |
|
Predisposing factors make the body more susceptible to disease. Factors like WHAT, or any type of chemical treatment. Pre- existing WHAT. WHAT traits, like the sickle cell gene. WHAT and WHAT. WHAT, WHAT and lifestyle |
Chemotherapy....diseases....inherited...climate ...weather...fatigue...age |
