Question 37 of 52

What is an acute infection?= Rapid onset and rapid recovery

Question 37 of 52

Question 38 of 52

Question 38 of 52

Question 39 of 52

Question 40 of 52

What is the difference between an infectious disease and a microbial intoxication? "An infection is where a pathogen invades, colonises and produces disease. Microbial intoxication is where a pathogen produces a toxin which, when ingested, causes the disease."
