Acute and Chronic Diseases
Acute and Chronic Diseases
Types of Diseases: The diseases can be broadly grouped into congenital and acquired diseases. Anatomical or physiological abnormalities when present from birth cause congenital diseases (e.g. haemophilia, colour blindness) whereas, the diseases developing after birth are called acquired diseases (e.g. malaria, cancer, etc.). Depending on the duration of infection, diseases may be of following two types:
1. Acute Diseases: These are the diseases that last only for very short periods of time. Thus, they do not cause long-term harmful effects on human health. in these diseases, patients recover completely after the cure, e.g. common cold, cough, etc.
2. Chronic Diseases: These are the diseases, which last for a long time, even as much as a lifetime and cause drastic long-term effects on human health, e.g. elephantiasis (an infection caused by filarial worm), cancer, AIDS, etc. In these diseases, patient does not recover completely.
Chronic Diseases and Poor Health: Acute and chronic diseases have different effects on our health. Any disease that causes poor functioning of one part of the body affects our general health because for general health, all body parts should work properly. Acute diseases do not have time to cause major effects on general health, while a chronic disease will cause major effects. As chronic diseases are long-term diseases, therefore they can cause serious distress to health as compared to acute diseases.
