Cinnamon Nolan (asker) Oct 21, 2008:
Explanation If the context is clear, "sera" may be sufficient. If not, "serial serum specimens/samples" is an option.
Cinnamon Nolan (asker) Oct 21, 2008:
"Sera" vs "serial serum specimens/samples" Serial serum specimens should be monitored for all exposed workers. Obtain baseline serum as soon as possible after the exposure has been recognized, and obtain available pre-exposure stored specimens. Arrange for serologic testing (Brucella microagglutination testing) at 2, 4, 6, and 24 weeks. These tests will monitor for the development of infection and can be performed at your state public health laboratory or CDC. Note: RB51 does not induce a measurable antibody response. Monitoring serum specimens in individuals exposed to RB51 will not provide a useful indicator of infection,

David Brown Oct 12, 2008:
difficult one this without more context, but I might guess "derived sera"
moken Oct 12, 2008:
Cinammon, it seems to me that you could completely do without the 'evolutivos', as the text goes on to say obtenidos después de iniciado el tratamiento (por término medio cada 2 meses después de iniciado el tratamiento). Surely that says it all!

José J. Martínez Oct 12, 2008:
sueros intertratamiento puede ser lo que buscas...pero como es un documento técnico creo que lo ya mencionado es mejor.
José J. Martínez Oct 12, 2008:
By the way, recidiva means RELAPSE.
Cinnamon Nolan (asker) Oct 12, 2008:
"SUEROS EVOLUTIVOS" "Sueros evolutivos" is the correct term for which I need the translation into English. (Sorry, I'm working under pressure from a time crunch, as usual Qué novedad, ¿verdad?). "Evolutive sera" has been used in a few published reports, but only in ones published by non-English-speaking authors, so I'm looking for other options.
Cinnamon Nolan (asker) Oct 12, 2008:
This text and others All from Spain into British English.
This text is from a letter from one researcher to another, about investigating Brucellosis.
I can't find another example at the moment, but it has to do with analysing the changes over time of level of a specific antigen, etc. in sera.
José J. Martínez Oct 12, 2008:
Seguramente que si hay errores. El término suero puede decirse serum en Inglés y su plural puede ser sera pero por lo general se usan otras palabras para nombrarlos.
Gilberto Diaz Castro Oct 12, 2008:
¿De dónde es el texto provisto? Hay otros términos que no me son familiares, o quizás hay errores ortográficos en el texto original. Gracias por la información.

sera

I would not use the word evolutive at all, a simple listing of the types of serum should be self-explanatory. Sera obtained prior..., serum obtained after ... and sera obtained from relapse patients.

evolutive sera

creo que asi debe decirse
Note from asker:
Thanks for your input, José. "Evolutive sera" appears in a few published papers, but they have all been written by authors living in non-English speaking countries, so I was looking for other options.

evolving serum / generating serum

The term asked reads 'sera evolutiva' but the context reads 'sueros evolutivos'. If the context is correct this would be the proper translation.
Note from asker:
Thanks for your input, Gilberto. As indicated above, you are right about having the wrong question term, My apologies: It should be "sueros evolutivos". "Evolving sera" comes close, as these are serum samples taken as the disease/bacteria evolves. In this case, "generating serum" would not be correct.

the development/progression of (serum) samples

"For every patient we have samples of serum taken prior to treatment, and a further record of the development/progression of samples taken after the initiation of treatment/therapy ... ". I think "record of development/progression" gives the idea of "evolutiva".

RAE - evolutivo, va.
1. adj. Perteneciente o relativo a la evolución.

Evolution -
2. a product of such development; something evolved: The exploration of space is the evolution of decades of research.

You can even omit "of the development/progresion ..." as "record" implies this. The "of the evolution ..." is another way to say the same, and is closer to the Spanish original.

active-stage sera sample

I have found examples of

sera inicial and sera final

so wondered whether this might be it, as it appears to refer to sera samples taken during the "evolving" stage of the disease..

it could well be

serum samples taken during evolution of the disease

rather than "active" phase..

Thanks for the info.

As you say, my final contribution would fit :-)
Note from asker:
Thanks for your help, Liz. As indicated above, in this instance the disease is Brucellosis. Your final answer is closest to the idea, because the Brucella bactteria levels can be stable, increasing or decreasing. (BTW, active-stage SERUM SAMPLES would be the correct form for your original answer.)
