Spanish term

FAN

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) serology
This is an abbreviation. The source text is actually Portuguese but since medical abbreviations are often the same in Spanish, I thought I would address the Spanish-language group since it is much larger. It has to do with screening tests that were done to rule out alternative causes of a case of neutropenia. Source text (translated into Spanish): "Hicemos explaraciones que descartaron otras causas de neutropenia (serología para sífilis, hepatitis B y C, VIH, PCR, VHS, FAN)."

Sonia Iujvidin Mar 23, 2008:
Martin: you have to choose only one answer, the one you consider most useful for your purpose. The points are BrowniZ, you can buy information and other things with them. Read the rules. I forgive you. Happy Easter.
Martin Hoffman (asker) Mar 22, 2008:
KudoZ points Sonia: I'm sorry, I'm new to using KudoZ and I don't understand
this system of assigning points. I thought I could assign points
to all the good answers. I went through them in the order that
received them--I assigned four points to the first person who
answered (Carlos Vergara) and then I assigned four points to your answer. If you were not assigned them, please explain to me what I need to do.
Best regards,
Martin
PS: What are these points useful for, by the way, aside from
cluing in other users to which responses were useful?
PPS: Thanks again for your response--it really was the best one.
Carlos Vergara Mar 22, 2008:
I agree with Sonia. I don't think any of us is here for the points, but there are rules of decency and common sense.
Sonia Iujvidin Mar 22, 2008:
Martin: You used my translation but you gave the points to another person. Thats not good at all!
