Can disease exist in the absence of illness?

Yes. Take in account Hepatitis. It's a disease, but someone could be perfectly healthy otherwise. If someone has the flu at the same time that would be another story. Disease and illness are two different things. Also, an example is mental illness. This is an *illness* while hepatitis is a *disease*. So, yes, disease CAN exist in the absence of illness.

The Egyptian myth explains death and disease to exist after Ra decided to send Sekhmet, a lioness, to the people in order to kill them. Ra did this because he was unhappy with mankind. After the lioness murdered many of the people, Ra decided to keep the remaining people, alive while Sekhmet was still blood-thirsty.
