Acute diseases come quickly and last short-term; chronic diseases last months or lifelong.
Acute illnesses like flu appear suddenly, chronic conditions like diabetes last for years.
Acute diseases are temporary, like infections. Chronic ones persist, like arthritis or asthma.
Simple explanation: acute = quick onset, short duration, chronic = gradual onset, lasting or recurring.
Acute issues typically resolve fast, chronic issues require ongoing management or treatment.
