In the widest sense an infectious disease is one due to the invasion of the human body by specific germs of some sort which infect it. The infectious disease with a relatively short course is called an acute infectious disease, the others are called chronic infectious diseases.
The course of an infectious disease is often marked by certain stages or periods, each having a special term.
The period during which the germs are developing in the body without characteristic clinical manifestations is called the period of incubation.
It is followed by the prodromal stage during which the initial symptoms may appear.
Then comes the stage of a fully developed disease or the stage of fastigium which in case of a disease with cutaneous eruption is called the period of eruption.
The last period is the stage of decline, in the eruptive fevers sometimes called the period of desquamation.
