InfectiousDisease
schema:Thing > schema:MedicalEntity > schema:MedicalCondition > schema:InfectiousDisease
An infectious disease is a clinically evident human disease resulting from the presence of pathogenic microbial agents, like pathogenic viruses, pathogenic bacteria, fungi, protozoa, multicellular parasites, and prions. To be considered an infectious disease, such pathogens are known to be able to cause this disease.

schema:MedicalTherapy | A preventative therapy used to prevent reoccurrence of the medical condition after an initial episode of the condition. |
schema:signOrSymptom
|
schema:MedicalSignOrSymptom | A sign or symptom of this condition. Signs are objective or physically observable manifestations of the medical condition while symptoms are the subjective experience of the medical condition. |
schema:stage
|
schema:MedicalConditionStage | The stage of the condition, if applicable. |
schema:subtype
|
schema:Text | A more specific type of the condition, where applicable, for example 'Type 1 Diabetes', 'Type 2 Diabetes', or 'Gestational Diabetes' for Diabetes. |
schema:typicalTest
|
schema:MedicalTest | A medical test typically performed given this condition. |
| Properties from schema:MedicalEntity | ||
schema:code
|
schema:MedicalCode | A medical code for the entity, taken from a controlled vocabulary or ontology such as ICD-9, DiseasesDB, MeSH, SNOMED-CT, RxNorm, etc. |
schema:guideline
|
schema:MedicalGuideline | A medical guideline related to this entity. |
schema:medicineSystem
|
schema:MedicineSystem | The system of medicine that includes this MedicalEntity, for example 'evidence-based', 'homeopathic', 'chiropractic', etc. |

| Properties from schema:Thing | ||
schema:additionalType
|
schema:URL | An additional type for the item, typically used for adding more specific types from external vocabularies in microdata syntax. This is a relationship between something and a class that the thing is in. In RDFa syntax, it is better to use the native RDFa syntax - the 'typeof' attribute - for multiple types. Schema.org tools may have only weaker understanding of extra types, in particular those defined externally. |
schema:alternateName
|
schema:Text | An alias for the item. |
schema:description
|
schema:Text | A short description of the item. |
schema:image
|
schema:ImageObject or schema:URL | An image of the item. This can be a URL or a fully described ImageObject. |
schema:name
|
schema:Text | The name of the item. |
schema:potentialAction
|
schema:Action | Indicates a potential Action, which describes an idealized action in which this thing would play an 'object' role. |
schema:sameAs
|
schema:URL | URL of a reference Web page that unambiguously indicates the item's identity. E.g. the URL of the item's Wikipedia page, Freebase page, or official website. |
