The term prodrome is derived from the Greek word prodromos meaning the forerunner of an event (Fava and Kellner 1991). In clinical medicine, a prodrome refers to the early symptoms and signs of an illness that precede the characteristic manifestations of the acute, fully developed illness. For example, measles is described as having a prodrome of 3 to 4 days characterized by fever, coryzal symptoms, conjunctivitis, and cough.
Premie is another word for a premature baby, or preemie. Premies, or preemies, are babies who are born before 37 weeks gestation. A normal pregnancy lasts for about 40 weeks, but babies born much earlier than 40 weeks may live and thrive.
