Question

Differentiate between acute and chronic diseases. Which amongst the two has adverse effect on the health of a person? Explain giving suitable example​

Answer 1

Answer:

The terms "acute" and "chronic" are used to delineate between effects on the basis of severity or duration. "Acute" effects usually occur rapidly as a result of short-term exposures, and are of short duration. "Chronic" effects generally occur as a result of long-term exposure, and are of long duration.

the chronic diseases are more dangerous than the acute diseases and need proper care, attention and research because they affect the patient mentally as well as physically. We have discussed the acute and chronic diseases in detail.

Examples of acute diseases include appendicitis, acute leukemia, and strep throat. ✌️
