Medical - Medical (general) / serology
Spanish term or phrase: FAN
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)."
