Examples of clinical latency in the following topics:
-
- While the term latency period is used as synonymous, a distinction is sometimes made between incubation period, the period between infection and clinical onset of the disease, and latent period, the time from infection to infectiousness.
- During clinical latency, an infection is subclinical.
- With respect to viral infections, in clinical latency the virus is actively replicating.
- This is in contrast to viral latency, a form of dormancy in which the virus does not replicate.
-
- In some host cells, a small number of viral genes termed latency-associated transcripts accumulate instead.
- While primary infection is often accompanied by a self-limited period of clinical illness, long-term latency is symptom-free.
- Following activation, transcription of viral genes transitions from latency-associated transcripts to multiple lytic genes; these lead to enhanced replication and virus production.
- Clinically, lytic activation is often accompanied by emergence of non-specific symptoms such as low grade fever, headache, sore throat, malaise, and rash, as well as clinical signs such as swollen or tender lymph nodes, and immunological findings such as reduced levels of natural killer cells.
-
- The latency period is the time between infection and the ability of the disease to spread to another person, which may precede, follow, or be simultaneous with the appearance of symptoms.
- Some viruses also exhibit a dormant phase, called viral latency, in which the virus hides in the body in an inactive state.
- The International Classification of Diseases (most commonly known by the abbreviation ICD) is according to its publisher, the United Nations-sponsored World Health Organization, and is considered "the standard diagnostic tool for epidemiology, health management and clinical purposes. " It is known as a health care classification system that provides codes to classify diseases and a wide variety of signs, symptoms, abnormal findings, complaints, social circumstances, and external causes of injury or disease.
-
- In B cells, lytic replication normally only takes place after reactivation from latency.
- In latency, only a portion of EBV's genes are expressed.
- Latent EBV expresses its genes in one of three patterns, known as latency programs.
- EBV can exhibit one of three latency programs: Latency I, Latency II, or Latency III.
- Each latency program leads to the production of a limited, distinct set of viral proteins and viral RNAs.
-
- The signs and symptoms of asbestosis do not manifest until after an appreciable latency (time since first exposure), often several decades under current conditions in the United States.
- Clinically advanced cases of asbestosis may lead to respiratory failure.
-
- In a process called latency, these viruses can exist in nervous tissue for long periods of time without producing new virions, only to leave latency periodically and cause lesions in the skin where the virus replicates.
- Even though there are similarities between lysogeny and latency, the term lysogenic cycle is usually reserved to describe bacteriophages.
-
- These stages of lytic infection, particularly late lytic, are distinct from the latency stage.
- In the case of HSV-1, no protein products are detected during latency, whereas they are detected during the lytic cycle.
-
- Signal latency: An increased latency (time lag) larger than about 150–300 ms becomes noticeable and is soon observed as unnatural and distracting.
- With high bandwidth systems, the latency problem is minimized but you are still well advised to minimize quick moves and rapid gestures while speaking, since some audience members may have slower connections.
-
- The latency period is the time between infection and the ability of the disease to spread to another person, which may precede, follow, or be simultaneous with the appearance of symptoms.
- Some viruses also exhibit a dormant phase, called viral latency, in which the virus hides in the body in an inactive state.
- Compare and contrast the following concepts: epidemic, endemic, pandemic; incidence vs prevalence; morbidity vs mortality; incubation, latency, acute, decline and convalescent periods

- Clinical psychology focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders and mental illness.
- Psychologists working in a clinical capacity (such as therapists or counselors) work with clients who are struggling with mental illness to assess, diagnose, and implement various forms of therapeutic treatment.
- Much of this treatment is based on clinical research.
- While clinical psychologists tend to work directly with clients, non-clinical psychologists focus more heavily on research.
- Researchers and other non-clinical psychologists often work in university psychology departments or teach in other academic settings (e.g., medical schools or hospitals).
