Hi ,

Good guess, that was my initial take too, but I don't think so ... stenosis

is described in detail elsewhere in the hospital report (patient has had more

stents, PTCAs, CABGs etc than I've had hot dinners), and this one looks quite

different in both context and typography.

Thanks, though!

Not sure ... how would a vein disorder be involved? I am pretty sure the

first letter, at any rate, is an S.

Thanks!

How about silicosis? (Just another idea)

Hi,

For me it's " stenosis " , often associated to rheumatic fever.

would *phlebosis " make sense?

Dear listers,

I am looking at a very smudged fax. The cardiac patient has fever from an

unclear source. He also has leukocytosis, and something (possibly

associated

with it) that looks like *** shetbosis ***. All of the letters are doubtful

;-(

, have you considered " sclerosis " ? If spelled " sklerosis " (which it may

be), I can conceive of the " k " , on a bad fax, looking like an " h " , the " l "

a " t " and the " b " an " r " (presuming all lower-case, of course).

Thanks to all of you. But ... ta-ra!!

Thanks to someone on another list, this is the answer:

An abnormal increase in immature neutrophils, huh? Who knows, the term

might catch on.
