INCUBATION STAGE
- It is the period starting from the
entry of pathogen until the
appearance of the first sign.
Some diseases occur in several ways:

- Chicken fox (2-3 weeks of

incubation)
- Common colds (1-2 days of
incubation)
- Mumps (12-25 days of incubation)

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 non-specific
innate immunity.

Some examples of Prodromal stage

- Not feeling well

- Feeling of discomfort
- Low grade fever

recovery depends on the severity of
infection and the sick person’s
general state of health. Recover
may take several days to months

of Infection?
2. What is the most important thing to

3. When you have a friend who has an
infection, what can you do to help
him/her?
- Incubation stage, Prodromal stage,
Illness stage, Convalescence stage.

Everybody! let’s do this on your next activity.

F. APPLICATION - Taking an antibiotic as directed,

even after symptoms disappear, is
Instruction: (you will be divided into four key curing an infection and
