Incubation period (no signs or symptoms) Prodromal period (vague, general symptoms) Illness (most severe signs and symptoms) Decline (declining signs and symptoms) Convalescence (no signs or symptoms) Number of microorganisms or intensity of signs or symptoms Time convalescence prodromal incubation decline illness

The stage of an infectious disease when specific signs and symptoms are seen and the pathogen is at peak activity is: - convalescent stage - prodromal stage - All of these choices are correct - incubation period - period of invasion
Please match the clinical stage of infection with its description: 1. appearance of first early; nonspecific symptoms 2. Microorganism multiplying rapidly and causing fever and specific disease symptoms 3. decline of symptoms and return to state of health 4. period of time from initial contact with pathogen to appearance of very first symptoms incubation period convalescent period normal stage period of invasion
