How would the clinical and epidemiologic descriptions of a disease differ, and how would they be similar?
Explanation
Differences between Clinical and epidemiologic description of disease:
Clinically diseases are diagnosed based upon the signs and symptoms.
In Epidemiology, the diseases are diagnosed based upon the inputs received from microbiology, pathology, toxicology, psychology, sociology, genetics and molecular biology. Epidemiology studies concentrate on the prevalence of diseases among population groups. A particular outbreak in a society is contributed by a variety of factors.
Similarity between them in the investigation of a disease will be in the initial stage of the investigation. Preliminary information about an outbreak is given by clinicians. It is further proceeded by epidemiologic investigation.
