Alternatives: "outbreak of illness" or "onslaught of disease".
Exposure during the war, however, had undermined his health, and when, in December, 1869, he was ordered to Mobile, thus returning to his first station, he was in poor condition to resist the attack of disease.
His biographer, Hans Trefousse, suggested that another reason for Stevens's virulence was an attack of disease in the late 1820s that cost him his hair (he thereafter wore wigs, often ill-fitting), and "the unwelcome illness may well have contributed to his unreasonable fanaticism concerning the Masons".

We also attempted to evaluate the difference in gut microbiota composition in remission and attack periods of disease in the "pure" form, when the genetic, phenotypic and environmental variables are removed from the analysis.
comm)., investigators estimated that the attack rate of disease among household contacts of patients with invasive GAS disease was higher than the rate of invasive disease among the general population (294.1/ 100,000 population) (3 ).
Vaccine effectiveness is measured by calculating the incidence rates (attack rates) of disease among vaccinated and unvaccinated people and determining the percentage reduction in the incidence rate of disease among vaccinated people compared to unvaccinated people.
These events have been characterized by high attack rates of disease and prevalence of the invasive strain among asymptomatic classmates of the respective index patients, suggesting that the causative organisms benefitted from enhanced colonization fitness, high transmissibility, and high virulence.
Lastly, if fecal shedding of RV1 leads to horizontal transmission of vaccine virus and resultant immune response in unvaccinated contacts of vaccine recipients, as was shown in a clinical trial in the Dominican Republic, this might decrease the attack rates of disease in unvaccinated children and decrease estimates of RV1 effectiveness as measured through observational studies.
There were no significant differences in the frequency of migraine attacks, duration of disease, age at onset, and MIDAS scores between the MWA and MWoA groups (p > 0.05).
This applies also to persons who have recovered from tetanus, for an attack of the disease does not confer immunity.
