    A disease is a pathological condition affecting a tissue, organ or organ system of an organism.  Diseases are often identified by an infection, genetic defect or symptoms leading to debilitating condition in the health.

    Diseases are primarily characterized into three types: intrinsic (occurring within the body), extrinsic (occurring outside the body) and the third type "unknown." Diseases which are found to be of intrinsic origin include stress-related diseases, hereditary illnesses, glandular problems, autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, and cases arising from malnutrition. Diseases which are of extrinsic origin are the result of infections arising from a virus, bacterium, or any other parasite which enters the body. Diseases of unknown origin are the ones whose is fundamentally unknown like Alzheimer's disease.
