Unlikely, for just fever. It might be a Catalan expression for Casulaty...fact is teh word is not very legible.

Explanation:
I found this, which is in Ontario, Canada, but are the abbreviations in English or Spanish? It probably depends on the location, it seems that it may be a local institution.

Explanation:
Thanks, Ailish..
Es poco probable pero un paciente grave ingresado podría ir por fiebre a la UCI, aunque no sea frecuente (hipertermia maligna.... o algún otro caso). De todas formas, la S final no encaja... seguiremos pensando... :-))

Explanation:
Ailish:

Aún cuando ya eligió la respuesta, no puedo dejar de decirle que cuando el original no es del todo legible, y ante la menor duda, se pone "[illegible]".

Si Ud. es traductor seguramente ya lo sabrá, pero no puedo dejar de hacer el comentario.

Seguramente Ud. sólo quería intentar saber qué significaba, pero es importante destacar que, en lo que respecta a la traducción, no suele haber margen para la "adivinación".

Espero le ayude.
