• Is any condition that unfavorably affects the normal functioning

  disease
• disease can be classified as

  communicable and non-communicable
• caused caused by pathogenic agents that can be transmitted from an infected individual or animal to a susceptible host

  communicable diseases
• These are not transferrable and not caused by microorganisms

  non-communicable diseases
• These are lifestyle diseases that are caused by the abnormal condition and malfunctioning of body parts

  non-communicable diseases
• diseaes that are caused by organisms and are passed on from one person to another

  communicable diseases
• organisims that can cause diseases are called

  pathogens
• examples of pathogens are

  bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa and parasites
• Produce toxins which causes diseases

  bacteria
• they are nearly everywhere

  bacteria
• bacteria grow and multiply very quickly in what kind of places

  warm, dark and moist places
• Are harmful even if these are smaller than bacteria

  viruses
• Tiny organisms that can cause diseases

  Viruses
• They usually live in the intestines

  Protozoa and Parasites
• These are animals such as amoeba and parasites that can cause infections

  protozoa and parasites
• They enter the body and damage the cells

  viruses
• small plant-like organisms that includes molds and mushrooms

  fungi
• they invade the deeper tissues of the body

  fungi
• What are the 3 communicable diseases transmission


  Direct modes of transmission, Indirect modes of transmission and Airborne mode of transmission
• Every infectious disease follows the common pattern called

  Infectious Disease Process
• To complete the infectious disease process, it need 6 factors. These factors together are known as

  Chain of Infection
• what are the 6 factors

  Pathogens/Infectious agent, Reservoir/source of pathogens, Way of escape/portal of exit, way to travel/mode of transmission, way of entering/ portal of entry, susceptible/new host
• what are the stages of infection

  incubation stage, prodromal stage, illness or clinical stage, and recovery stage
• is the time when a disease is finally overcome by your body's defenses

  recovery stage
• means you recover partially and then you get sick again

  relapse
• this is where any infectious disease starts

  incubation stage
• is the time between the entrance of pathogens to the body and the appearance of the first symptoms

  incubation stage
• is the time during the earliest symptoms appear but not have fully developed

  prodromal stage
• is the time where your body begins to react to the pathogens

  prodromal stage
• is the time when a disease is fully developed

  illness/clinical stage
• this is the time when the disease is at worst

  illness/clinical stage
