Discussion

BrigitteHilgner Apr 6, 2005:
The hyphen is used to indicate that something has been left out - the complete phrase would be "Durchseuchungstiter bzw. Impftiter". To avoid repetition, the first "-titer" was left out.
Non-ProZ.com Apr 5, 2005:
i initially thought that it is a typo. The R in Durchseuchung was forgotten. Well even if we assume it to be Durchseuchung, why that hypen there?? Its wierd, isnt it?

Well, even if it is Durchseuchung (and I am sure it is), it's really important to know what "Impftiter" is. Looks to me like there is a spelling mistake in this one too. Because the word you are really looking for is Durchseuchungs -titer (that's the reason for the hyphen)

Yes, typo for Durchseuchung. And bzw. is simply 'or' (here)

'Durchseuchungs- oder Impftiter' means 'Durchseuchungstiter oder Impftiter'. (remember this funny way of abrivating?)

Durchseuchung: http://dict.leo.org/cgi-bin/dict/urlexp/20030220103757

Durchseuchungstiter =
In der Diagnostik muß berücksichtigt werden, daß der Nachweis von Borrelien Antikörpern im Blut von Patienten lediglich anzeigt, daß ein früherer \"Kontakt\" mit Borrelia burgdorferi erfolgt ist und nicht zwangsläufig mit einer Erkrankung, d. h. einer Lyme-Borreliose gleichzusetzen ist. Bei Personen mit erhöhtem Risiko für Zeckenstiche (z. B. Waldarbeitern) können häufig erhöhte Antikörper gegen Borrelia burgdorferi im Blut nachgewiesen werden, ohne daß eine Erkrankung vorliegt; man spricht dann von einem sog. ***Durchseuchungstiter***.

antibody titer:

A test to measures the presence and amount of antibodies in blood against a particular type of tissue, cell, or substance.

The antibody level in the blood is a reflection of the body\'s past experience or exposure to an antigen, or something that the body does not recognize as belonging to itself. The body uses antibodies to attack and eliminate the foreign matter.
