תקופת דגירה א-תסמינית


Definition from own experience or research:
הזמן שבין החשיפה לגורם המדבק לבין תחילת התסמינים הקליניים.

Example sentence(s):
  • לכן, הגישה המקובלת יותר בחולים עם בקע א-תסמיני שאינו מפריע לחולה היא מעקב בלבד, ורק בחולים עם בקע תסמיני כמו: כאבים, בלט מטריד, כליאה, גיל צעיר מאוד או בקע פמורלי, יש להעדיף ניתוח. - ויקירפואה
