A disease is an abnormal condition that impairs bodily functions, accompanied by specific symptoms and signs. Disease can also include, in a broader sense, injuries, disabilities, disorders, syndromes, isolated symptoms or any abnormal condition that impairs normal function.

A medical condition is a broad term that includes all diseases and disorders, but also includes normal situations, such as pregnancy, that might benefit from medical assistance or have implications for medical treatments.
