 SIGNS AND
SYMPTOMS OF
COMMUNICABLE
DISEASES
 A disease that spread from one person to another is
called communicable disease. It is a
disease that is caused or pathogens. Pathogens can
be viruses, bacteria, fungi, helminths, to name a
few. It is a disease that can be transmitted.

Signs and symptoms are abnormalities that indicate a potential

medical condition. A symptom is subjective that is apparent only
to the patient, while a sign is any objective evidence of a disease
that can be observed by others.

Directions: Read carefully each
statement. Determine whether the
statement is true or false
1.Organisms like bacteria and viruses are all
over the environment.
2.Microorganisms that cause diseases are
called pathogens.
3.A cough of more than two (2) weeks with
weight loss and night sweats is indicative
more of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) than
pneumonia.
4. Stomachache is not a symptom that can be
manifested by a communicable disease.
5. All types of hepatitis can be transmitted via
consumption of contaminated food and/or
water.
6. Dengue has four serotypes. A past infection
from one serotype does not provide immunity to
the other types.
7. Wearing a face mask is not advisable when
sneezing.
8. All communicable diseases are sexually
transmitted but not all sexually
transmitted infections (STIs) are
communicable diseases.
9. Sharing needles, syringe, and
handkerchiefs are not advisable.
10.It is the nature of pathogens to invade
their host through certain points of entry
to cause morbidity.
Directions:
Interview the elders in your family. Ask
about the effects and common
