| Aug 16, 2014 at 12:19 | comment | added | Dan Bron | It's not a single word, but in diagnostic medicine & epidemiology, I believe the early stages of a disease are literally called the "early stages" and they are correspondingly characterized by "early signs" or "early symptoms". Will these suit, or do you really need a single word, or something they indicates the very earliest or first signs of a disease? Do you know the term exists and it's just slipping your mind? | |
