Added DiffLines:

* ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse'': while not an illness ''per se'', transformations due to [[SuperHeroOrigin mutant power manifestations]] vary greatly, whether it is to a HeroicBuild, a GenderBender, or a BodyHorror. They can be as pleasant or as painful as the story allows, and range from instantaneous to years-long ordeals.
** Powers-related illnesses such as Manifestation Augmented Tissue Deformity or Chimerical Trait Acquisition seem to vary in duration and severity from story to story. On the flip side of this, [[HealingFactor Regen Cancer]] seems to be consistently swift, and consistently gruesome in its outcome.

* The ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise'' episode "Regeneration" has characters infected with [[TheAssimilator Borg nanoprobes]] transform into drones much more slowly than usual.

* The ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise'' episode "Regeneration" has characters infected with [[TheAssimilator Borg nanoprobes]] transform into drones much more slowly than usual. Possibly justified by the fact that the victims were infected by a few drones cut off from the collective and thus operating at reduced capability.

* There's a difference in the time various people sickened and died in ''Literature/TheStand''. When the virus is first released inside the army base, everyone is dead in minutes, minus Campion, who makes it about a day before dying. Other people take several days to die, because they get briefly better before getting worse. The [[Series/TheStand TV miniseries]] {{Hand Wave}}s this by stating that Campion was exposed to a mutated version of the virus that takes longer.

* ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe'': {{Hand Wave}}d rather than just played straight. [[spoiler:Things shrunk by the shrink ray eventually unshrink, and this is foreshadowed. But the moon unshrinks a mere few hours after shrunk. But, they say that the bigger the object, the sooner it unshrinks. And the moon is extremely big. However there is FridgeLogic in the fact that the minion shrinks before the flyer, when the flyer was shrunk first.]]

Added DiffLines:

* Vampire infection in ''Film/FromDuskTillDawn'' is wildly inconsistent, [[spoiler: Richie turns a few minutes after the human cast have dealt with the initial wave of vampires, Sex Machine takes a while, long enough for Frost to give almost a whole story about his time in 'Nam, Frost turns ''seconds'' after being bitten, Jacob lasts from being bitten roughly the same time as Frost, to the final few minutes of the film.]]
