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)."

Discussion
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.
