Incubation, Prodromal, Invasion, Convalescence - Answers Clinical Infectious Disease stages
(name 4)
Incubation - Answers name the disease stage: Period from initial exposure to the onset of the
first symptoms; could last from hours to years.
Subclinical infections - Answers name the disease stage: no clinical signs but infected.
Prodromal - Answers name the disease stage: Starts with initial symptoms is often very mild
with feelings of discomfort and tiredness.
Invasion - Answers name the disease stage: Invasion is farther and affects other body tissues,
symptoms of illness are at their worse.
Convalescence - Answers name the disease stage: Recovery occurs and symptoms decline, or
the disease is fatal, or has a period of latency.
fever - Answers the hallmark of infection
Virulence - Answers Capacity to cause severe disease; potency
Endemic, Epidemic, Pandemic - Answers 3 Infectious Disease Classifications
Endemic - Answers name the Infectious Disease Classification: Diseases with relatively high,
but constant, rates of infection in a particular population
Epidemic - Answers name the Infectious Disease Classification: Number of new infections in a
particular population that greatly exceeds the number usually observed
Pandemic - Answers name the Infectious Disease Classification: An epidemic that spreads over
a large area such as a continent or worldwide
exotoxins, endotoxins - Answers 2 types of bacterial infections
Exotoxins - Answers this type of bacterial infection: Enzymes released during growth
Endotoxins - Answers this type of bacterial infection: Contained in cell walls of gram-negative
bacteria and released during lysis of bacteria
bacterial - Answers Gram(+) and Gram(-) are what type of infections
Gram-negative bacteria - Answers Gram(+) or Gram(-) bacteria:

Antibiotics - Answers work by prohibiting protein synthesis in bacterial infections
bacterial infections - Answers antibiotcs work against what kind of infections
fungal infection - Answers name the type of infection: Systemic infection is usually from
immunosuppression
fungal infections - Answers this infection is so toxic to humans because it has similar cell
compositions to human cells.
Candida albicans - Answers the most common fungal infection.
Parasite Invasion - Answers Tissue damage caused by parasites is secondary to release of
