Slovak term or phrase: expiračné vrzoty aj chropy dif.
From a hospital discharge report:

inspir. chropy bilat. bazálne, predĺžené expírium + expiračné vrzoty aj chropy dif.

How would differentiate vrzoty and chropy?

Is 'vrzoty' the correct form of the word, or should it be 'vrzgoty'?

And what is the significance of 'dif.' here?

wheezing and also crackles on expiration
Explanation:
chropy - crackles (crepitations, rales) (possibly derived from the word chrápať as mentioned earlier)
Crackles mostly occur during inspiration, thus there is "aj chropy" after "expiračné".

"Crackles are caused by explosive opening of small airways and are discontinuous, nonmusical, and brief."
"Basal or basilar crackles are crackles apparently originating in or near the base of the lung... Bilateral basal crackles also refers to the presence of basal crackles in both lungs... Crackles are much more common during the inspiratory than the expiratory phase of breathing, but they may be heard during the expiratory phase."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crackles

vrzgoty - wheezing
"A wheeze... is a continuous, coarse, whistling sound produced in the respiratory airways during breathing. For wheezes to occur, some part of the respiratory tree must be narrowed or obstructed, or airflow velocity within the respiratory tree must be heightened."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheeze

vrzot is Czech, vrzgot is Slovak

Based on the above links
suché chropy (pískoty, vrzoty) = wheezing
vlhké chropy = rhonchi
třaskání = crackles, crepitations, rales,

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks. I think of 'dif.' as meaning 'differential' or 'differentiated', but of course 'diffuse' is possible too.
