A disease or medical condition is an unhealthy state where something bad happens to the body or mind.[1] Diseases can cause pain, parts of the body to stop working the right way, or death. The word disease is sometimes used to include:

  • parts of the body being hurt,
  • not having the usual abilities,
  • medical problems or syndromes,
  • infections by microorganisms,
  • feeling unhealthy, such as having pain or feeling hot (called 'symptoms'),
  • unusual shapes of body parts.
