Medical - Medical (general)
Slovak term or phrase: morfy
From an article about a case of leishmaniasis that took a long time to diagnose:

Na koži boli prítomné početné morfy 1 až 2 cm v priemere, ružové až ružofialové, miestami s krustami v strede, bez zápalu, svrbivé.


Formations? I haven't found the word in dictionaries.

Explanation:
morfea/morfy - ohraničená sklerodermia charakterizovaná ložiskami stuhnutej kože

morfea - morphoea, circumscribed/localised scleroderma, Addison's keloid - this is from a medical bilingual dictionary, which might be of help.

To be honest, I am not sure about it, but, yes, it is a good point. It is hard to say if the doctor meant - morfey - or something completely different. There is a good picture and Slovak description of - morfea - on this web page.

http://ludsketelo.sk/index.php/k2/autor/638-verban?start=270

Morfea je zriedkavé ochorenie kože, ktoré spôsobuje červenkasté alebo purpurové škvrny na koži. Morfea je lokalizovaná alebo obmedzená forma sklerodermie, čo je stav, ktorý môže spôsobiť celý rad problémov, od sfarbenia kože až po ťažkosti s funkciou kĺbov a svalov a iných spojivových tkanív.

So the colour is not far - ružové, ružovofialové - červenkasté, purpurové.

they mention - morf - in the plural

keď psoriatické lézie majú tendenciu k symetrii a sú väčšinou spojené s nálezom chrakteristických morf na koži.


Here they do use - MORFY

makulopapulózne exantémy – makuly alebo papuly rôznej veľkosti, ktoré diferencujeme na:
– skarlatíniformné exantémy (morfy veľkosti do 1 mm)
– rubeoliformné exantémy (morfy veľkosti 1 – 3 mm)
– morbiliformné exantémy (morfy veľkosti 3 – 5 mm);

vezikulózne – vezikulopapulózne – vezikulokrustózne, pri ktorých sa tvoria vezikuly, pustuly a zasychajú do krúst; THIS ALSO TIES IN WITH - miestami s krustami v strede

Here they use - MORFY - too. Text and a picture.

And more on - MORFY
This one basically wraps it up. I am not sure which is the correct plural form (morfey or morfy), but it is clear now that in this case they mean this below.

https://primar.sme.sk/c/7683978/ako-si-poradit-so-suchou-a-s...

Lekárka dodáva, že svrbenie je príznakom jednak dermatologických ochorení, ktoré sa prejavujú hlavne suchosťou, začervenaním kože a rôznymi takzvanými morfami na koži, a tiež môže byť príznakom množstva iných interných ochorení. V prvom rade sa odporúča kožu pravidelne premasťovať hydratačnými prípravkami. Ak aj napriek premasťovaniu svrbenie, začervenanie či rôzne MORFY neustupujú, treba vyhľadať lekára.

Thank you very much. I'm sure this is it. On the question of the plural in English, one or two dictionaries give 'morphoeae', but I can't find any examples of use of the plural (I only find 'morphoea patches', 'morphoea lesions').

Notes to answerer
Asker: That's interesting! - and thanks to your answer, I've found the word 'morfea' in a Slovak-English medical dictionary.

Asker: Perhaps the plural should be, more correctly, 'morfey' in Slovak?
