There are four main types of diseases:<\/strong> infectious diseases, deficiency diseases, hereditary diseases, and physiological diseases.<\/p>\n The disease may be acute, chronic, malignant, or benign. Of these terms, chronic and acute have to do with the duration of disease, malignant and benign with its potentiality for causing death.<\/p>\n An acute disease process usually begins abruptly and is over soon. It usually requires immediate surgical treatment. The term chronic refers to a process that often begins very gradually and then persists over a long period.<\/p>\n The terms benign and malignant, most often used to describe tumors, can be used in a more general sense. Benign diseases are generally uncomplicated and a good outcome is usual. Malignancy implies a course that, if left untreated, will result in fatal illness or death. Cancer is the general term for malignant tumors.<\/p>\n We\u2019re still trying to eradicate diseases that have plagued humans for centuries.<\/p>\nOrigins of Human Disease<\/strong><\/h2>\n
