Medical - Medical: Health Care / medical report
Czech term or phrase: l. dx.
Context of my document:

Cystis ovarialis l. dx.
Abscessus peritonsillaris l. dx.
Cystitis ovarii l. dx.

Context I have found online:
Osteomyelitis femoris prox.l.dx
resectio cauae parotis I.dx
lový průtok ve vena jugularis l. dx.


It always seems to be linked to the condition when given in Latin, and at first I thought that dx. may mean diagnosis but I am not sure.

Also due to the font used in the document it is hard to tell if it is a number '1' or a letter 'L' but in versions with handwriting it seems to be a the letter L.

Sorry, obvious mistake in my previous answer!

l.s. or l. sin is "left"

"latus" is simply Latin for "side" - dx or sin is added as appropriate.
