Whooping cough (pertussis) is a highly contagious respiratory tract infection. In many people, it's marked by a severe hacking cough followed by a high-pitched intake of breath that sounds like "whoop." Before the vaccine was developed, whooping cough was considered a childhood disease.

During the incubation period a person is exposed to a disease may not show symptoms
Remission is the period during which the symptoms of a disease abate or subside.
Incubation period
Yes it can. That is one of the symptoms!
The incubation period is the time between when a disease enters your system (through the air, bodily contact or a cut in your skin for instance) and the time when you actually show symptoms of the disease.
The incubation period for a viral infection is the time between exposure to the virus and the onset of symptoms. A longer incubation period can make it harder to track and contain the spread of the disease because infected individuals may not show symptoms right away and can unknowingly transmit the virus to others.
The incubation period is the time between catching a "germ" and experiencing signs and symptoms of disease. The window period refers to testing, not symptoms. It's the time between catching a "germ" and having a test for that germ come up positive.
i m confused whether all sub-clinical cases result in disease or not just like a case going through incubation period who'll have disease some time in future. Is there any definite difference between these two things.
Nothing that currently deters disease progression. There are options to reduce symptoms, but for only a relatively short period of time (1-2 yrs)

The incubation period for acute renal failure is not applicable as it is not an infectious disease. Acute renal failure is usually diagnosed based on the sudden onset of symptoms, such as decreased urine output or swelling in the body. It is important to seek medical attention promptly if you suspect you have symptoms of acute renal failure.
