Acute Disease Management Care

Acute disease is a term used to refer to illnesses that onset very quickly but typically result in a nearly full recovery within one month. Acute diseases often produce symptoms that are severe, such as high fever, pain, and complications of various systems and organs within the body, such as the respiratory system, digestive system, skin, eyes, liver, kidneys, and bladder. Examples of acute diseases include broken bones, viruses like the flu and rotavirus, and infections like pink eye and urinary tract infections. Sometimes acute diseases can be severe and require emergency medical attention. Examples include pneumonia, appendicitis, acute pancreatitis, acute liver failure, and acute renal failure.

The common cold isn’t called common for no reason. Did you know that the National Institutes of Health estimate that the common cold is the most common acute illness in America? Though it is impossible to know for sure how many colds plague Americans every year, current estimates put the number at about 1 billion. With a population of 314 million, that’s an annual average of three colds per person!
