French term

fièvre non prise à domicile

French to English Medical Medical (general) General feeling of being unwell
Hello
I am translating a report about an elderly man who was admitted to hospital with various symptoms...

Here is the context:

PEC SMUR non médicalisé pour malaise à domicile sans PC en post prandial immédiat avec prodromes à type de nausées, sueurs, paleur et tremblements.

Valvuloplastie par TAVI le 10/12 avec BAV complete lors de l'intervention ayant nécessité la pose d'un PMK.


Décrit une asthénie depuis 48h avec frissons + fievre non prise à domicile.


I am sure I have come across this phrase somewhere before, I thought it meant "self-assessed", but what is the correct way of putting this into English?

Thank you!

Peer comment(s):

agree Michael Barnett : "fever felt but not taken at home". I would not say assessed. It sounds much more complicated than it really is.
