Acute diseases are temporary, like infections. Chronic ones persist, like arthritis or asthma.
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.
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.
