Period in which the first symptoms manifested, as reported by the individual or their family. Any symptoms which were not considered abnormal at the time, but can retrospectively be attributed to the disease, should be considered as well. If the value is Asymptomatic, this item must be collected at each update until the individual shows first symptoms. If the value is not Asymptomatic, the datestamp is irrelevant and therefore not required.
This item refers to symptoms of the diagnosis specified in Diagnosis.
