Post by: Yeheye on Feb 12, 2018 Incidence is the number of new cases arising in a given population during a specified time. The correct incidence is three new patients had influenza during the month of January.

Two examples for this patient are taking an antihypertensive medication and using an inhaler. Pathophysiology is defined as the physiology of altered health.
