Disease Arrested in Development (Forme Fruste)

A disease arrested in development (forme fruste) is an atypical form of the disease in which the typical symptoms are mild, and its progression is unexpectedly stopped at an early stage.

With this variant of the course of the pathological process, only part of the signs characteristic of this disease is observed. The symptoms are mild and do not allow for an accurate diagnosis. The disease seems to “get stuck” in the initial phase and does not progress to the next, more severe stage.

This variant of the course of the disease is rare. The reasons why the development of the pathological process is suspended may be associated with both the characteristics of the body and external factors. Sometimes forme fruste is considered as a preclinical, erased form of the disease.

It is quite difficult to recognize the disease in its suspended form. The uncharacteristic pattern of symptoms makes diagnosis difficult. However, timely detection and treatment of forme fruste can prevent further development of the pathological process and the occurrence of complications.

Illness is not only an uncomfortable condition, but also a serious threat to health and life. People suffering from the disease often experience physical and emotional distress, which can seriously affect their quality of life. One of the ways to combat the disease is its early detection and treatment. However, sometimes the disease can occur in a form called “disease that has ceased to develop” (forme fruste).
