Question

difference between acute and chronic disease

Answer 1

Chronic diseases do not show any symptoms in their prior stages. So, people are often unaware of these diseases. These are slow and gradual types of diseases, which damage the internal body functioning and affect the routine. The biggest drawback of these diseases are that if they occur once, they cannot be cured that easily, due to which they stay for a longer duration of time, maybe also for lifetime.. Most common example of chronic diseases is the HIV/AIDS, arthritis, asthma, cancerand diabetes. These are diseases caused due to multiple factors and problems.


Acute diseases are of rapid onset nature, which occur for a short course of time. In context of medicine, the term ‘acute’ is generally used to refer to an acute phase of injury, referring to the immediate post-injury healing processes. The word ‘acute’ also refers to severe injury conditions, which are actually extreme in nature, but can be cured after a shorter duration of time.Hence, acute care is the early and specialist management of adult patients suffering from a wide range of medical conditions, requiring urgent or emergency care usually within 48 hours of admission
