Spanish term

diagnóstico orientativo

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general)
El término "orientativo" no está aceptado por la Real Academia, y tampoco encontré "orientative diagnosis" en Internet como algo que se use. ¿A alguien se le ocurre una traducción alternativa?

Contexto: "La arteritis de Takayasu ha constituido desde siempre un desafío difícil de sortear para los internistas, por tratarse de pacientes jóvenes polisintomaticos, con severo compromiso clínico y que no suelen demostrar un perfil diagnóstico orientativo"

Thanks for pointing that out Muriel! :-) I was in a hurry and added the chosen translation without noticing that it didn't fit directly in a glossary entry.
Muriel Vasconcellos May 31, 2008:
The answer was good, but the translation you posted in the glossary was the OPPOSITE of the meaning intended. I hope you can correct that.

clear diagnostic profile

I don't see a preponderance of hits online or in dictionaries for any one of our suggestions--I think you'll be working out the best translation of the sense of the sentence rather than hitting on an indisputable term here. The sense of the sentence seems to be that patients present with many symptoms, but that the combination(s) of symptoms does not point to an uncomplicated differential diagnosis, that it leads to many different paths of discovery on the physicians' part. So I'll just offer "frequently do not present a clear diagnostic profile" or a variation on Muriel's phrase--a "suggestive diagnostic profile" as possibilities.
Example sentence:

your child continues to be impacted by the developmental delays due to institutionalization, but she does not fit any clear diagnostic profile."
