- There are 11 classifications of diseases: Inherited Disease, Congenital, Degenerative, Nutritional Deficiency, Endocrine, Mental Illness, Immunological, Neoplastic, Iatrogenic, Idiopathic, and Nosocomial.
Inherited Disease
- Caused by errors in the genetic code.
- Example: Sickle Cell Anemia.
Congenital Disease
- Conditions present at birth.
Degenerative Disease
- Manifest as a person ages.
- Example: Alzheimer’s disease.
Nutritional Deficiency
- Not prevalent in the US, primarily due to insufficient minor nutrients.
- Can negatively impact the immune system and increase pathogen virulence.
- Causes include internal parasites; pathogens like Diphtheria may exploit deficiencies.
