B)A symptom is a reliable identifier of a disease.
C)Syndrome is another word for symptoms.
D)Signs of disease are detectable or measurable by an observer.
E)Chronic infections do not have any signs or symptoms.

Accepted Answer

Signs of disease are objective observations or measurements made by an observer, such as a physician or nurse. They are generally more reliable indicators of a disease than symptoms, which are subjective experiences reported by the patient. A syndrome is a collection of signs and symptoms that are characteristic of a particular disease or condition. Chronic infections may have signs and symptoms, although they may be less severe or consistent than those of acute infections.
