neutral  philgoddard: Isn't that VPH, virus del papiloma humano?

  -> Here is where my multilingual experience comes in handy. It is not a typo, but rather (I strongly suspect) a translation from a Slavic language into Spanish in the first place. C stands for "človeški" (= human)or similar in Slavic languages, so CPV.
neutral  liz askew: indeed, VPH = virus del papiloma humano, though your answer does make sense in the context. Is it a typo then?

  -> It is not a typo, but rather a retained original (Slavic) acronym that the original translator into Spanish likely left intact. I often see it happen. Who would bother researching acronyms for 3 cents a word? I understand them in a way.
agree  Marga Shaw: This seems to be a reasonable translation. Please see my discussion entry above.

concentración plasmática de vancomicina (vancomycin serum concentration; vancomycin monitoring))


Explanation:
Sin más contexto, presuponer una pretraduccion eslava de un informe ginecológico parece un tanto excesivo. Cierto es que esto de la concentración plasmática de vancomicina parece muy cogido por los pelos, pero con el limitado contexto apenas se puede jugar a adivinar... No obstante, podría tener sentido en una paciente sometida a tratamiento con vanco.

¿Algo más de contexto sería posible?

Los glucopéptidos, como vancomicina y teicoplanina, tienen actividad bactericida específicamente frente a bacterias Gram (+) aerobias y anaerobias, incluyendo Staphylococcus multirresistentes. (...) La vancomicina por vía oral es una alternativa eficaz en el tratamiento de infecciones por Clostridium difficile. (...) Realizar medición de la concentración plasmática de vancomicina (después de 3 o 4 dosis si la función renal es normal, antes si hay insuficiencia renal)...

En infecciones a tratamiento con vancomicina, la medición de su concentración plasmática no resulta extraña. En el caso descrito, como ya mencionado, la aclaración del contexto más amplio sin duda ayudaría a afinar el sentido del original CPV.

neutral  philgoddard: I agree about the "Slavic translation", but I'm not sure this is very likely in the context either.

  -> El único contexto aportado es el de una infección ginecológica pendiente de resultado de cultivo y "CPV". Se infiere, aunque no se señala, que la paciente está a tratamiento antibiótico (el cultivo sugiere sospecha de infección bacteriana, no vírica).
