What are examples of subacute diseases?

Subacute diseases represent the mid band of human ill-health that is neither rapid in it's onset (Acute) like Meningitis or slow in it's onset (Chronic) like Osteoarthritis. Therefore subacute diseases are likely to be the types that you can live with with the aid of medication or prosthesis, but will require elective surgery to correct or treat. That is my estimation from my understanding as a clinical architect. Please make further investigations.
