GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Medical - Medical (general) / inentingsbewijs
Dutch term or phrase: opkomst
"Als goed gevolg van de inenting wordt beschouwd de *opkomst* van ten minste één volledig ontwikkelde pokpuist van ten minste 1/2 cm lengte."

This term appears on a vaccination certificate from the first half of the previous century. How should it be rendered accurately here? 'Development' comes to mind, but doesn't seem to collocate. RSVP. TIA. Cheers, R.

swelling


Explanation:
Hi Robert - my old Ten Bruggenkate (pre-spelling change) suggests swelling for opkomst and pock for pokpuist - I think today we would use something like "presents with a swelling of at least .... of the pock mark.
