Infectious can pass person to person.
Chronic means it's within a body and not communicable.

infectious and chronic diseases are all brought on by mostly the same issues. (viral, bacterial and some a combo of environment, ie., chemicals, pollution ect). what makes them different is the body can let some of the virons run it's course, whereas the chronicity of a disease the body can't fight off. Diseases are always infectious, otherwise would wouldn't have them, regardless of the chronic nature or the short lived kind. Genetics (w/ combination of pollutions) can sometimes play a role in the ability to fight off certain diseases. Sometimes an organ is so severely affected that the body can't fight it off. Sometimes the natural interferon process in the body is not elevated enough to help ward off infection. Bottom line: short lived infection=bodies defense figured how to fight it and win. long lived or chronic=body is not able to ward off the infection in it's entirety.

infectious means it's able to be transferred to someone/something else and the other object may or may not be infected. Chronic means the disease has been going on for some time, depending on what the disease is depends on whether it's chronic. Ever disease has a time frame which makes it chronic.

Chronic disease is a disease of long duration. Infectious disease is a disease resulting from the presence and activity of a microbial agent, with or without actual contact.

infectious....the stage of a disease where it is transmittable
chronic....the disease is not fought off by the body due to lowered immunity, but in some instances still pass the disease on depending on the disease.
example:
infectious mono...by the time you know you have it, you've already passed it on to others.
chronic mono: initial infection becoming chronic do to immunity not being able to fight it off....comes and goes, but no longer infectious

An infectious disease is one that can be transmitted to another person (such a flu).
A chronic disease is one that lasts for an extended period of time (such as arthritis).
A disease may be either, both or neither.

Chronic is a recurring illness & is not infectious. Infectious can be transferred to another.

Infectious means there is an infection in your body which can be contagious under certain circumstances.
Chronic means it is long-term, not contagious, only dangerous to person that has it.
