Iceberg concept of infection and its importance?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The iceberg concept.: Implies that the clinical cases of a specific infection reflects the part of the iceberg above the surface where most of the cases go unrecognized. This fits for many infections but not all. Rabies, HIV and chickenpox are infections primarily clinically overt.
