Presymptomatic

Presymptomatic is a term used in medicine to describe signs and symptoms that occur immediately before the typical symptoms of a disease appear. This term was coined to describe signs that may precede the onset of symptoms.

Presymptomatic can be any condition that causes discomfort or pain in the patient. For example, some people may experience headaches or stomach pain before they develop flu symptoms. Also presymptomatic may be changes in behavior or mood, such as irritability or depression, that appear before the onset of the disease.

One of the best known examples of a presymptomatic state is the prodrome, which occurs in some infectious diseases. The prodromal period is the time when a person begins to show signs of illness, but does not yet have symptoms. These signs may include fever, cough, runny nose and other symptoms that indicate the body is fighting an infection.

Diagnosis of presymptomatic conditions can be difficult as they may not be noticeable to the patient. However, if these signs are identified in time, it can help treat the disease and prevent its development. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to any changes in your health and consult a doctor if necessary.

Presymptomatic, or harbingers, manifestations are most common in nature. Clinicians call them symptoms of premorbidity, rheumatologists call them symptoms of latent disease activity. Any disease is often preceded by symptoms that are not related to the leading ones. For example, a chronic disease of internal organs is often preceded by a feeling of general weakness, headache, and fever for two to three days. Diseases are self-defense reactions of the body. The body prevents the disease, makes an attempt to survive and prevent its spread to healthy parts. The human body has a defense in which healthy organs suppress the development of pathological cells. This usually takes several days. During this time, an experienced doctor must take action regarding the patient.
