Activity 2: Life Changing Letter
Dear students,
This life-changing letter is about the course of infection by
stages. Read it very carefully and understand how infection
manifests through its various stages. When a person is sick,
the first stage of infection is incubation. it is the period
starting from the entry of the pathogen until the appearance
of the first sign. For example: chicken pox, it takes 2-3 weeks
of incubation. For common cold, 1-2 days of incubation,
influenza takes 1-3 days, and 15-18 days for mumps.
Activity 2: Life Changing Letter
The second stage is called the prodromal stage which starts from
the onset of non-specific signs and symptoms such as fever.
Illness stage begins when more specific signs and symptoms appear.
For Example, common cold is characterized by sore throat, sinus
congestion, rhinitis, mumps manifested by headache, high fever,
and salivary gland swelling.
The last stage of infection is an interval when acute symptoms of
infection disappear. The length of recovery depends on the severity
of infection and the sick person’s general state of health. Recovery
may take several days to months and is called the convalescence
stage.
