Here are the definitions for the terminology related to disease progression:

• Isolation: The separation of sick people with a contagious disease from people who are not sick.
• Epidemic: A widespread occurrence of an infectious disease in a community or region at a particular time.
• Endemic: A disease or condition regularly found among particular people or in a certain area.

• Incubation period: The period between exposure to an infection and the appearance of the first symptoms.
• Quarantine: The restriction of movement and separation of healthy people who may have been exposed to a contagious disease to see if they become ill.
• Latency: A period during which a pathogen is present in the body but is not causing symptoms or actively replicating.
• Carrier: An individual who harbors an infectious agent without showing symptoms and can transmit the infection to others.
• Endogenous infection: An infection caused by microorganisms that are normally present in the body but become pathogenic under certain conditions.
• Exogenous infection: An infection caused by microorganisms that originate from outside the body.
• Infection: The invasion and multiplication of microorganisms in body tissues, which may or may not cause disease.
• Nosocomial infection: An infection acquired in a hospital or other healthcare setting; also known as a healthcare-associated infection (HAI).
• Asepsis: The absence of bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms. It refers to practices that prevent infection.
• Infection control: The discipline concerned with preventing healthcare-associated infections.
