    3.3 DISEASE TERMINOLOGY

    • A disease or medical condition is an abnormal condition of an


    organism that impairs bodily functions and can be deadly. It is
    also defined as a way of the body harming itself in an abnormal
    way, associated with specific symptoms and signs. 
    • In human beings, "disease" is often used more broadly to refer
    to any condition that causes extreme pain, dysfunction,
    distress, social problems, and/or death to the person afflicted,
    or similar problems for those in contact with the person. In this
    broader sense, it sometimes includes injuries, disabilities,
    disorders, syndromes, infections, isolated symptoms, deviant
    behaviours, and atypical variations of structure and function,
    while in other contexts and for other purposes these may be
    considered distinguishable categories.
    Disease
    The term disease broadly refers to any abnormal
    condition that impairs normal functioning. Commonly,
    this term is used to refer specifically to infectious
    diseases, which are clinically evident diseases that result
    from the presence of pathogenic microbial agents,
    including viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, multicellular
    parasites, and aberrant proteins known as prions.
    An infection that does not produce clinically evident
    impairment of normal functioning is not considered a
    disease. Non-infectious diseases are an other diseases,
    including most forms of cancer, heart disease, and
    genetic disease.
    PROTOZOA
    FUNGI
    MULTICELLULAR PARASITES
    Illness
     Illness or sickness is generally used as a synonym for
    disease. However, this term is occasionally used to refer
    specifically to the patient's personal experience of his or
    her disease.
     Possible for a person to be diseased without being ill, and
    to be ill without being diseased (such as when a person
    perceives a normal experience as a medical condition, or
    medicalizes a non-disease situation in his or her life).
     Illness is often not due to infection but a collection of
    evolved responses, sickness behaviour, by the body aids
    the clearing of infection. Such aspects of illness can
    include lethargy, depression, anorexia, sleepiness,
    hyperalgesia, and inability to concentrate.
