A disease is a type of illness. A symptom is an outward effect of the disease. For example the flu is a disease, and a fever is a symptom of the flu.

A disease is a combination of symptoms. The beginning of a disease is marked by symptoms. Fever, headaches, pustules are all symptoms of chicken pox. A disease is identified by the symptoms.

A symptom is the outcome of the disease....like pain is an outcome of cancer.
