Yes. Take in account Hepatitis. It's a disease, but someone could be perfectly healthy otherwise. If someone has the flu at the same time that would be another story. Disease and illness are two different things. Also, an example is mental illness. This is an *illness* while hepatitis is a *disease*. So, yes, disease CAN exist in the absence of illness.
