What is Disease?

“A disease is a condition that deteriorates

the normal functioning of the cells, tissues,
and organs.”
Diseases are often thought of as medical conditions that are
characterized by their signs and symptoms.

The disease can also be defined as:

“Any dangerous divergence from a functional or normal state of an entity.”
When a person is inflicted with a disease, he exhibits a few symptoms and signs
that range from normal to severe depending upon the medical condition. Hence,
in order to identify different diseases, the normalcy of an entity needs to be
studied and understood as a clear demarcation between disease and disease-free
is not always apparent.
The diseases are usually caused by many factors rather than a single cause.
When we have a disease, we eventually show some signs, such as headaches,
cough, cold, or weakness. These signs are referred to as “symptoms.” In almost
all diseases, symptoms are shown immediately after having been struck by the
disease. However, it varies depending upon the seriousness of the disease.
Today, there are various ways to classify diseases.

Types of Diseases
Diseases can be of two types

 Infectious diseases
 Non-infectious diseases

Infectious Diseases
Diseases that spread from one person to another are called communicable
diseases. They are usually caused by microorganisms called pathogens (fungi,
rickettsia, bacteria, viruses, protozoans, and worms). When an infected person
discharges bodily fluids, pathogens may exit the host and infect a new person
(sneezing, coughing etc). Examples include Cholera, chickenpox, malaria etc.

Non-infectious Diseases
These diseases are caused by pathogens, but other factors such as age,
nutritional deficiency, gender of an individual, and lifestyle also influence the
disease. Examples include hypertension, diabetes, and cancer. They do not
spread to others and they restrain within a person who has contracted them.
Alzheimer’s disease, asthma, cataract and heart diseases are other non-
infectious diseases.
Based on these above classifications, a disease may fall into any number of
these classifications.

Degenerative Diseases
They are mainly caused by the malfunctioning of vital organs in the body due to
the deterioration of cells over time. Diseases such as osteoporosis show
characteristics of degenerative diseases in the form of increased bone weakness.
This increases the risk of bone fractures.
When degeneration happens to the cells of the central nervous system, such as
neurons, the condition is termed as a neurodegenerative disorder. Alzheimer’s is
a prominent example of this disorder. Degenerative diseases are usually caused
by ageing and bodywear. Others are caused by lifestyle choices and some are
hereditary.

Allergies
An allergic reaction arises when the body becomes hypersensitive to certain
foreign substances called allergens. This usually happens when the immune
system reacts abnormally to any seemingly harmless substances. Common
allergens include dust, pollen, animal dander, mites, feathers, latex and also
certain food products like nuts and gluten. Peanuts and other nuts have the
capability to cause severe allergic reactions that may induce life-threatening
conditions such as difficulty in breathing, tissues swelling up and blocking the
airways and anaphylaxis shock.
Other common and less life-threatening symptoms include coughing, sneezing,
running nose, itchy and red eyes, and skin rashes. One of the best examples of
this allergic reaction is asthma. Sometimes, bee stings and ant bites also trigger
allergies. Consumption of shellfish and certain medications can induce allergic
reactions.
Asthma is a chronic disease, that mainly affects the bronchi and bronchioles of
the lungs. One of the factors responsible for this is airborne allergens such as
pollens or dust. Symptoms include difficulty in breathing, wheezing, and
coughing.

Deficiency Diseases
They occur due to the deficiencies of hormones, minerals, nutrients, and
vitamins. For example, diabetes occurs due to an inability to produce or utilize
insulin, goitre is mainly caused by iodine deficiency, and kwashiorkor is
caused by a lack of proteins in the diet. Vitamin B1 deficiency causes beriberi.

Goitres
It is an abnormal enlargement of the thyroid gland by blocking the oesophagus
or other organs of the chest and neck. This causes difficulty in breathing and
eating.

Blood Diseases
Blood contains plasma, white blood cells, platelets and red blood cells. When
any of these components are affected, it can lead to blood disorders. For
instance, red blood cells are destroyed when a person contracts sickle cell
disease. The red blood cells are distorted into the shape of a sickle (hence, the
name) and they lose their ability to carry oxygen. Consequently, this disease is
characterized by symptoms similar to chronic anaemia, such as shortness of
breath and tiredness.
Other diseases such as eosinophilic disorders, leukaemia, myeloma (cancer of
plasma cells in bone marrow), Sickle Cell Anemia, Aplastic Anemia,
Hemochromatosis and Von Miller and Disease (blood-clotting disorder) fall
under this classification.
General Symptoms: Pale skin, swelling of lymph nodes, fever, bleeding,
bruising, skin rashes, etc.

Disease-Causing Agents
We have seen the classification of different entities based on various
characteristics, for simplification, we classify organisms to group them together
and study about them as a class. Similarly, diseases are caused by different
microorganisms and can be classified as diseases caused by bacteria, fungi,
viruses etc. Some diseases are also caused by multicellular organisms such as
worms.
Listed below are a few diseases and the disease-causing agents

List of Diseases

Plague Pasteurella pestis

Cholera Vibrio comma (Vibrio cholera)

Tetanus Clostridium tetani

What is an Acute Disease

A few diseases occur suddenly and last for a few days. These are known as
acute diseases, such as the common cold. This condition can be treated with
medical treatment or on its own. Many times, acute diseases turn chronic if they
continue to persist.
Acute diseases can occur throughout all body systems. E.g., an asthma attack is
acute which later turns chronic. Strep throat, broken bones, appendicitis,
influenza, pneumonia, etc. are some of the acute diseases.

What is a Chronic Disease

The diseases that occur over a period of time and last longer, or even for a
lifetime are called chronic diseases. Generally, if a disease lasts for more than
three years it is called chronic disease. Initially, the symptoms are very mild. A
chronic disease progresses slowly and damages the body severely. It might
sometimes be fatal.
The risk factors involved in such diseases may be age, gender and unhealthy
lifestyle, etc. A chronic disease may or may not be cured by medications. It
cannot be prevented by vaccines as well. Hypertension, arthritis, diabetes
mellitus, and psoriasis are some of the chronic diseases.
However, chronic disease can be controlled by:
 Physical activity
 Healthy diet
 Giving up on smoking
 Controlling alcohol consumption
A chronic illness is very stressful. The stress obstructs and delays your
recovery.

Difference between Acute and Chronic Diseases

Acute Diseases Chronic Diseases

These diseases occur suddenly. They occur over a prolonged period.

They last for a shorter period. They last longer, even for a lifetime.

They cause sudden damage to the They cause long term damage to the
body. body of the patient.

The onset is sudden and often Chronic diseases progress gradually and
treatable. However, other usually end up causing long term
underlying conditions can also damage to organs and organ systems. In
affect the outcome of the disease. some cases, it can become fatal.

E.g. Typhoid, bone fracture, Eg. Diabetes, cancer, tuberculosis,

heart attack, cholera, common arthritis, etc.
cold, jaundice, malaria, etc.

Key points on Acute and Chronic Diseases

 Acute diseases refer to a medical condition that occurs suddenly and lasts
for a shorter period of time.
 Chronic diseases develop slowly and last for a lifetime.
  Chronic diseases are sometimes fatal.
 Acute diseases, if it persists for a long time, can be fatal, otherwise can be
treated with certain medications.
 Common cold, typhoid, jaundice, cholera, and burns, are some of the
acute diseases.
 Chronic diseases include diabetes, cancer, tuberculosis, arthritis, etc.
Hence, we can conclude that chronic diseases are more dangerous than acute
diseases and need proper care, attention and research because they affect the
patient mentally as well as physically.
We have discussed acute and chronic diseases in detail and the difference
between acute and chronic diseases. The health issue, causes, symptoms and
treatments are all discussed here.
