Italian term

poussè

Italian to English Medical Medical (general)
Si tratta di un termine (francese derivato dal latino) per definire una sintomatologia proctorragica: "Sintomi a poussè". Il senso mi è chiaro: "sviluppo/esordio improvviso della sintomatologia" e lo tradurrei con un letterale "sudden developing/onset symptoms/symptomatology" che tuttavia non mi convince e non mi piace. Chiedo pertanto aiuto per cercare una forma più elegante. Grazie

Ok, you could just put "Episodes of" and then list the symptoms. I'd leave out the idea of "acute/sudden onset" as I can't imagine a "slow onset" in this context
Or "Recurrent episodes of..."
Luigi Argentino (asker) Jan 3, 2023:
Full sentence "Difficoltà a defecare con dolore e bruciore al passaggio delle feci e anche a riposo. Proctorragia. Sintomi a poussè"
JudyC Jan 3, 2023:
It might be useful to see the actual context.
"episodic symptoms", " episodic nature of the symptoms" might also work depending on context.
Why neurology? Doesn't "sintomatologia proctorragica" mean "anal bleeding"?
JudyC Jan 3, 2023:
Try a FR-EN term search (poussée w/ two "E's" ) - there are several results (and interesting discussions) for its use in medicine

Peer comment(s):

neutral Adrian MM. : Sintomi is in the plural. So your (threadbare) answer presumably multiplies to flare-ups.

acute exacerbation [of sx]

This would be my preference. It is closely linked to flare up, but more generic and thus more fitting here (I think that "flare up" is reserved for specific contexts)
