Are you sure of this? In Dom1, I recall a time when I had one of the Eternal Knights get diseased, and a good thirty turns later, it had no afflictions beyond that...
Very sure, as I have kept some people alive at home after getting diseased, using regeneration items. They get sicker and sicker, until you find a way to cure the disease. The chance of an affliction is probably directly proportional to 1/HP, though, so a wimpy priest with a never healing wound is more likely to get afflicted than a special knight.
