Prevalence and Incidence of Actinymycosis

Actinymycosis:

Actinymycosis is listed as a "rare disease" by the Office of Rare Diseases (ORD) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). This means that Actinymycosis, or a subtype of Actinymycosis, affects less than 200,000 people in the US population.

About prevalence and incidence statistics:

The term 'prevalence' of Actinymycosis usually refers to the estimated population of people who are managing Actinymycosis at any given time. The term 'incidence' of Actinymycosis refers to the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Actinymycosis diagnosed each year. Hence, these two statistics types can differ: a short-lived disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence, but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence.
