Chapter 1. I am ill…

Diseases can be detected through a wide variety of signs affecting one or several parts of the body: these are symptoms of the disease.

Some symptoms are noticeable (coughing, spots, swelling, etc.) while others may appear as pain or discomfort felt by the patient (fatigue, heat, chills, headaches or abdominal pain, etc.)

It is important to watch out for the onset of these symptoms to be able to deal with a disease as soon as possible.
