French term
sensible à forte posologie aux ipenèmes
French to English
Medical
Medical (general)
ipenèmes
Hi,
In a patient's hospital report, it says they are 'sensible à forte posologie aux ipenèmes.' I can't find the latter term and wonder if it is a misspelling? Does anyone have any advice?
Thank you.

Selected
sensitive/susceptible to penems in high concentrations
Note the plural, it denotes a whole group of antibiotics known as penems. Some of these also have an "i" preceding the suffix: imipenem, doripenem, panipenem, ritipenem. To be more precise, these four actually belong to two related drug families: penems and carbapenems, so you may want to write "penems/carbapenems" instead of just "penems".
The usual pathogens targeted by these antibiotics are Pseudomonas spp.

: This would explain why it's 'ipenèmes' in the plural, but I don't understand your explanation and you haven't given references. Do you mean it's a typo for 'pénèmes'?//. And you clearly don't know what 'typo' means. There's no need to be so rude.

It's a misspelling rather than a typo. Sorry to be blunt, but you don't understand the explanations precisely because you don't know medicine in general and pharmacology in particular.

Drmanu49
: Certainly not sensitive which is a false friend.

"sensitive" and "susceptible" in this context are interchangeable

Imipenem belongs to the carbapenem family so it either means susceptible to carbapenems or to imipenem.
