Types of illness

When a person is ill, they have symptoms. Symptons are some of the effects of the illness that can be detected.

There are mainly two different kinds of illness: infectious illness and non infectious illness.

a) Infectious illness

These are principally caused by micro-organisms or germs that invade the body and cause it harm. Infectious agents are viruses, bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. Viruses can cause flu, rubella, AIDS, coronavirus and hepatitis. 





b) Non-infectious illness

This are caused by a malfunction in an organ, such as diabetes, which begins with a problema in the pancreas gland in the digestive system.
