Infecção subclínica

Uma infecção subclínica é o carreamento assintomático (sem sinais aparentes) de um agente infeccioso (micróbio, parasita intestinal ou vírus) que geralmente é um patógeno causador de doenças, pelo menos em alguns indivíduos. Muitos patógenos se espalham por serem silenciosamente carregados dessa forma por uma população de hospedeiros. Tais infecções ocorrem tanto em humanos quanto em outros animais. Um exemplo de uma infecção assintomática é um resfriado leve, o qual não é notado pelo indivíduo infectado. Como essas infecções subclínicas frequentemente não despertam sintomas, sua existência é identificada apenas pela cultura microbiológica ou por técnicas de DNA como a reação em cadeia da polimerase (PCR).
