postsymptomatic
Past the illness
Postsymptomatic describes the period after symptoms have appeared or subsided.
In medicine, it typically refers to the phase following the onset of disease symptoms: postsymptomatic testing, postsymptomatic care.
The term contrasts with presymptomatic (before symptoms appear) and asymptomatic (without symptoms).
The study tracked patients through presymptomatic, symptomatic, and postsymptomatic stages.
