A subclinical infection

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A subclinical infection is an infection that doesn't cause any signs or symptoms in the person. It may not be detected through regular medical examinations and doesn't usually require any treatment. However, the person can transmit the infection to others even if they aren't aware of it. The infection can also induce an immune response in the body, but at a level that's too low to cause any noticeable symptoms. Viruses with slow metabolism can cause subclinical infections, but it's not a defining feature.
