Consult Questions with Rationale
Question 1
Which of the following is a condition which may occur during the incubation period?
Onset of clinical illness
Receipt of infection
Signs and symptoms of disease
Transmission of infection
Isolation of disease carrier through quarantine
Rationale :The incubation period is defined as the interval from receipt of infection to
the time of onset of clinical illness. Accordingly, individuals may transmit infectious agents
during the incubation period as they show no signs of disease that would enable the isolation of
sick individuals by quarantine.
Question 2
Chicken pox is a highly communicable disease. It may be transmitted by direct contact with a
person infected with the varicella-zoster virus (VZV). The typical incubation time is between 10
to 20 days. A boy started school 2 weeks after showing symptoms of chicken pox including mild
fever, skin rash, and fluid-filled blisters. One month after the boy returned to school, none of his
classmates had been infected by VZV. The main reason was:
Herd immunity
All had been immunized prior to the school year
Contact was after infectious period
Subclinical infections were not yet detected
Disease was endemic in the class
The disease is spread by contact with an infected individual who can transmit the agent (VZV) to
immunologically naive persons during the incubation period and for several days after onset of
clinical illness. Since the boy started school 14 days after showing signs consistent with chicken
pox, it is most likely that he was no longer infectious.
