The term used to describe a disease where there has been a partial or complete disappearance of clinical and subjective characteristics of the disease is:

A. Infection. – Infection refers to the invasion of body tissues by microorganisms, while inflammation is the body’s response to injury or infection.

B. Ecchymosis. – Ecchymosis refers to bruising caused by blood leakage under the skin, not a protective response.

C. Erythema. – Erythema is redness of the skin due to increased blood flow, which is a symptom of inflammation but not the process itself.

D. Inflammation. – Inflammation is the body’s protective response to injury, infection, or irritation. It involves increased blood flow, immune cell activation, and chemical mediators to promote healing.

A. Chronic. – Chronic diseases are long-lasting and persistent, often requiring ongoing management, but they do not necessarily involve remission.

B. Acute. – Acute diseases have a sudden onset and typically resolve quickly, whereas remission refers to a temporary or permanent absence of disease symptoms.

C. Functional. – Functional diseases involve impaired body function without structural abnormalities, but this term does not describe the disappearance of symptoms.

D. Remission. – Remission occurs when a disease's signs and symptoms temporarily or permanently disappear, as seen in conditions like cancer or autoimmune disorders.
