A disease that spreads rapidly through a demographic segment of the population, such as everyone in a given geographic area (eg, a military base) or everyone of a certain age or sex (eg, the children or women of a region). Epidemic diseases can be spread from person to person or from a contaminated source, such as food or water.

Epidemic (Microbiology)

Disease that spreads rapidly and infects many people in a community or area (usually within a short time frame). The number of cases indicating presence of an epidemic will vary according to the infectious agent, size and type of population exposed, previous experience or lack of exposure to the disease, and time and place of occurrence; epidemicity is thus relative to usual frequency of the disease in the same area, among the specified population, at the same season of the year. A single case of a communicable disease long absent from a population or the first invasion by a disease not previously recognized in that area requires immediate reporting and epidemiologic investigation; two cases of such a disease associated in time and place are sufficient evidence of transmission to be considered an epidemic. (See Report of a Disease and Zoonosis).

Epidemic (Nutrition)

An extensive outbreak of a disease, or a disease occurring with an unusually high incidence at certain times and places.

Epidemic (Reproductive Infections)

A sudden, unusual increase in cases that exceeds the number expected on the basis of experience.
