That is a symptom,syndrome and disease
of the Disease are heavy and light. It is well known to all, like, clear. However, as in the case of patients, the clarity here is deceptive. If someone has cancer, we can definitely say that the person is very seriously ill, although he at the moment can feel great and not even suspect that unhealthy. On the other hand, having recovered from the flu, we can say: “I was rooting very hard”, having in mind not the danger of the disease (especially because it has already passed), and my health.
This ambiguity stems from the fact that in these two cases we are talking about completely different things. In the first case we think about disease. And the second status that occur during disease. When a person coughs, it is difficult to say what exactly she is sick. Cough is only a single symptom of a disease or symptom. Learn more about the symptoms of various diseases you can read at: . Any symptom can occur in many diseases.
the Symptoms never appear alone, unaccompanied by other signs of illness.
Each of them has a “relatives”, that is, at the same time there are other, well-defined symptoms. If we continue our example, the person suffering from cough, I want to ask, if they have a runny nose or headache, or very high temperature. Runny nose, cough, headache, and low temperature is “relatives”. They usually appear together.
At the same time have such a patient is unlikely to ask, it's not sick. Nausea, of course, can occur suddenly, but it will be mere coincidence: it is “not in the family relationship” with a cough and runny nose. A group of related symptoms, which usually appear at the same time, is called the syndrome. It is the syndrome determines the condition of the patient at a given time.
As symptoms of the same syndrome may occur with different diseases. Cough, runny nose and headache can some time to determine the patient's condition during colds, flu, inflammation of the lungs, tuberculosis and pneumonic plague. Therefore, not only the symptom but the syndrome it is impossible to judge about the disease.
the Disease is is a chain of syndromes, their logical sequence. It is this sequence of States (syndromes) creates a picture of suffering in time, the painting process, with a beginning, course and end. This process is a disease.
while these theoretical difficulties, it is easy to understand, what a huge difference between the statements “he has a very serious illness” and “he has a very serious condition”. Condition (syndrome) determines how heavy of currently available disorder, and says nothing (or at least said enough) on the severity of the disease.
