Medical (general)
Medical report on patient with gastroenteritis
I wonder if this is a typo or if something has perhaps been missed out. This appears in the paragraph covering the history of the illness. We have a list of symptoms of gastroenteritis then: "Al examen fisico: paciente con gran toma del estado general, Temp: 37.5 grados C." It's not something I have come across before, so all help would be greatly appreciated.

with a considerable/big compromise of his/her general health/well being
It looks like a bad way of stating the patient's health is affected in a broad way.
