Discussion

Jairo Payan Jun 18, 2010:
A primera vista eso de "termometradas" suena horroroso, "yo termometro", "tu termometras", no existe en el DRAE, claro que en sana lógica si "cronometar" es "medir con el cronómetro", por qué no existe termometrar?

subjective fever

If a patient says he/she has had a temperature but hasn't used a thermometer and cannot therefore be certain, let alone specify the exact temperature, this is a subjective report of fever.
It is pyrexia without proof, or "subjective fever"

Areas that cannot afford even simple laboratory diagnostic tests often use only a history of subjective fever as the indication to treat for malaria

I agree with you Liz that "unmeasured" conveys the meaning (see my response to that suggestion), but "subjective" is more common in native English references.

We defined a laboratory-confirmed case-patient as a resident of Health Service Region 8 who had a positive respiratory specimen showing nucleic acid sequences unique to pandemic (H1N1) 2009; a real-time reverse transcription–PCR (rRT-PCR) assay was used to detect the virus (9).
