    In pathology, a cardinal sign is the primary clinical sign or symptom used to diagnose a disease. Examples of cardinal signs include redness, increased heat, swelling, pain, and loss of function which characterize inflammation, and increased shortness of breath, increased sputum volume, and purulent sputum which are used to diagnose exacerbations of chronic bronchitis. Cardinal signs are often combined with other symptoms to better identify a specific disease or syndrome.

    Cardinal sign (pathology)

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    In pathology, a cardinal sign or cardinal symptom is the primary or major clinical sign symptom by
    which a diagnosis is made.[1]
    A cluster of signs or symptoms are often combined (pathognomonic) to better diagnose a specific
    disease or syndrome.

    Examples[edit]
    Inflammation is characterized by five cardinal signs:[2]

    rubor (redness),
    calor (increased heat),
    tumor (swelling),
    dolor (pain), and
    functio laesa (loss of function).

    In acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis, diagnosis is normally based on the three cardinal signs
    of:[3]

    Increased shortness of breath


    Increased sputum volume
    Purulent sputum
