Detailed explanation-1: -The prodromal stage refers to the period after incubation and before the characteristic symptoms of infection occur. People can also transmit infections during the prodromal stage. During this stage, the infectious agent continues replicating, which triggers the body’s immune response and mild, nonspecific symptoms.
Detailed explanation-2: -Many diseases and infections can be asymptomatic, including those that may be potentially fatal in some people. These include (but are not limited to): tuberculosis, breast cancer, endometriosis, HIV/AIDS, herpes, hepatitis, chlamydia, hypertension, common colds/flu, and type-2 diabetes mellitus.
Detailed explanation-3: -This stage of subclinical disease, extending from the time of exposure to onset of disease symptoms, is usually called the incubation period for infectious diseases, and the latency period for chronic diseases. During this stage, disease is said to be asymptomatic (no symptoms) or inapparent.
Detailed explanation-4: -Asymptomatic COVID-19 is somewhat similar to pre-symptomatic COVID-19, as both of these scenarios involve testing positive without having noticeable symptoms. However, people with asymptomatic COVID-19 never develop symptoms and usually feel perfectly fine throughout the duration of the virus.
