Question

difference between acute and chronic disease.​

Answer 1

Hello @peachybee66, here's your answer:

Acute diseases:

• 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 bone, appendicitis, influenza, pneumonia, etc. are some of the acute diseases.

Chronic diseases:

• 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, psoriasis are some of the chronic diseases.
