C

A

incubation period
prodromal stage
illness stage
convalescent stage

24
Q

Interval between the entrance of pathogens into body and appearance of the first symptoms

A

Incubation period

25
Q

Interval from onset of nonspecific signs and symptoms (malaise, low grade fever, fatigue,) to more specific symptoms

A

Prodromal stage

25
Q

A

Illness stage

26
Q
