One, like they say, is an obstacle or nuisance for the party. Someone’s been infected with a disease, they have to get a lesser restoration cast on them before they can really move on, and the overall impact is that it’s a drain on resources. But in that case, I’m not sure it matters too much if it’s poisoned versus diseased.The other is a plague overtaking the kingdom type of situation and that is much more of a story based problem, and probably requires a specific solution beyond just a spell the party has at their disposal. They have to find an artifact, they have to destroy the creature responsible for causing it, etc. In that case, the rules for dealing with that plague are specific enough that detailing it in the PHB are likely not as helpful anyways, and fall outside of just a basic condition or spell that can be cast to make it go away.</blockquote>
