6. Chronic Slow onset, longer duration; greater than six months
7. Diagnosis Identification of the disease
8. Etiology The cause of the disease
9. Idiopathic Unknown cause
10. Infection Invasion of the body by pathogens
11. Nosocomial Infections you get just because you're in that environment
12. Iatrogenic You get this because of some treatment they have done to you
13. Infestation Micro organisms living on you or in you
14. Inflammation Response to infestation/infection normally redness, heat,
swelling, pain
15. Localized On the surface and in the local spot
