Lesions are the chemical and structural manifestations of disease. Subjective manifestations of a disease process such as weakness, pain, and fatigue are called symptoms. The objective measurable manifestations such as temperature, blood pressure, and respiratory rate changes are called signs or physical findings. Changes in the chemical or cellular makeup of an organ, tissue, or fluid of the body or its excretory products are called laboratory findings. To make a diagnosis is to determine the nature of the pathologic process by synthesizing information from these sources evaluated in the light of the patient's history and compared with known patterns of signs and symptoms. In common usage, the term disease indicates a constellation of specific signs and symptoms attributable to altered reactions in the individual which are produced by agents that affect the body or its parts.
