Some infections cause disease, which is any deviation from the normal function or structure of the host. Signs of a disease are objective and are measured. Symptoms of a disease are subjective and are reported by the patient. Diseases can either be noninfectious (due to genetics and environment) or infectious (due to pathogens).

It also examines factors influencing incubation length and differentiates between acute, chronic, and latent diseases. Acute diseases progress rapidly, chronic ones persist longer, and latent infections remain dormant.
