clinical symptoms
Disease presentation indicators
Clinical symptoms are the subjective experiences a patient reports to a healthcare provider—pain, fatigue, dizziness, nausea.
These contrast with clinical signs, which are observable and measurable: a rash, elevated blood pressure, swelling.
In practice, the phrase often appears redundantly, since symptoms are by definition what patients experience clinically: The patient presented with clinical symptoms of pneumonia.
