THE PRODROMAL STAGE

Occurs after the incubation period. During this

phase, the pathogen continues to multiply, and
the host begins to experience general signs and
symptoms of illness caused from activation of
the nonspecific innate immunity,
such as not feeling well malaise- difficult to
identify and feeling of discomfort, low-grade
fever, pain, swelling, or inflammation.

Fever is the sign of Infection - You get a fever

because your body is
trying to kill the virus or bacteria that caused
the infection.

THE ILLNESS STAGE

This stage includes the time when a person

shows apparent symptoms of an infectious
disease. The symptoms of infection vary
widely depending on the underlying cause.
 Activity: Pick and Put

outbreak, including when infected
individuals will be symptomatic and most
likely to spread the disease.

Answer: Doctors can treat a bacterial

infection with antibiotics. A person must
complete the course of antibiotics to treat
the infection fully and prevent the
bacteria from becoming resistant to the
drug. In addition to cleaning, some
wounds may require further treatment.

about the The next stage is the prodromal. This is
lesson happened after incubation period and
before the characteristic symptoms of
infection occur. At this stage people can
transmit infection. This is also a period
wherein a person low-grade fever and
fatigue.

Third step is illness. At this time a person

shows apparent symptoms of an
infectious disease.

The last step is the convalescence wherein

symptoms resolve, and a person can return
