• Pre-Pathogenic period

• Early disease stage

• Advanced disease stage

• Convalescence and recovery

In the Leavell and Clark diagram, what is the key distinction between the recovery and chronic state of disease resolution?

• Recovery requires ongoing medical treatment, while chronic disease does not
