Back 5

diseases that occur as a result of medical treatment

Front 6

Nosocomial

Front 7

1)Diagnosis
2 )Prognosis —

Back 7

1-naming or identification of a disease

2-expected outcome of the disease

Front 8

1)  Chronic disease —
2 ) Acute disease —

Back 8

sudden appearance of signs and symptoms that only last a short time

develops slowly, signs and symptoms last for a long time

Front 9

 Remission —
 Exacerbation —
 Complication

Back 9

period when symptoms disappear of diminish significantly

periods when symptoms become worse or more severe

— the onset of new or additional problems that arise after the original disease begins.

Front 10

Sequalae

Back 10

— unwanted outcomes of having a disease or injury

 Signs
 Symptoms —

Back 11

— signs and symptoms of a disease

— objective changes that can be measured by another person

Front 14

 Latent period —
