French term or phrase: TDR++++
Context: "...a fait un syndrome palustre sévère avec TDR++++".

I understand TDR stands for "tests diagnostiques rapides du paludisme", RDTs in English. What I don't understand is the ++++, which would generally refer to the gravaity of an infection, I guess. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks in advance
