Psoriasis
A drug treatment report describes the progress of a psoriasis patient under treatment with etanercept. It continues as follows:
Transcurridas 24 semanas el paciente se encontraba casi completamente *blanqueado* y sin alteraciones en los controles analíticos realizados hasta el momento.
I assume "blanqueado" here must mean "cleared", as options having anything to do with "whitening" make no sense at all, to me at least! Can anyone confirm this, please?
In support of this interpretation, the report states later, after etanercept was suspended because of side effects and the patient was switched to another drug, "Completadas 12 semanas de tratamiento el paciente volvió a experimentar una mejoría de su psoriasis". The fact that the patient's psoriasis improved "again" indicates that it must have improved at an earlier stage too, which was presumably what was meant by "blanqueado" in my initial quote above.
Hope my logic makes sense. Grateful if anyone can tell me if I have this right, or if I'm wide of the mark!

"Cleared" is correct, referring to the disappearance of visible markings, but not a cure.

Liz's last references also support "cleared". Hats off to you, Liz, for so much research! An unusual characteristic of the term "cleared" in this case is that it could accurately refer to either a clearing of the symptoms or a clearing of the medication from the body.

: cleared of lesions - I would add the explanatory phrase. From the context, it doesn't appear to mean that the medicine has cleared from the system.

Comment: "I'd like to be able to split the points if I could, as Liz's train-of-thought was instructive in itself! However, "cleared" with the appropriate contextual additions is confirmation of what I was looking for. Many thanks to all who responded."

Hi Liz, I do not speak French but I think that is where the term came for the process of vegetables and I think that is also affecting the stetements in SP. Basically when someone---a beisball team blanquea the other one is because the score was 8 to 0...
