SO

Spanish to English Medical Biology (-tech,-chem,micro-) SO, negativo
This is an acronym in a blood test for someone with rheumatoid arthritis. In the parameters of the blood test a line appears reading:

SO, negativo

Discussion

Could it be a typo? Is the list one that looks like a standardized table that the computer just adds the values, or is this list typed by hand?
Also, how are the other values reported? In numbers, "negative"?

El analisis de sangre Aparecen en el analisis
Hemograma
Factor reumatoideo

Immunoglobulinas. C3 C4
Vit D 23.
Ana Andrade May 1, 2022:
More information, please? I understand it is a blood test, but I also know, as a Lab worker for over 10 years , that urine and feces analisys are ordered together. So, I would think about SO - Sangre Oculta (feces), in English: fecal occul blood test.
But if we are talking about oxigen saturation, that SO would have the number 2 together: SO2, and then it is the "Porcentaje de saturación de la hemoglobina por el oxígeno", in English: Oxygen saturation (SaO2) - an arterial blood test.

¿Puedes dar algo de contexto (qué otros parámetros aparecen junto a SO)? Desde saturación de oxígeno hasta casi cualquier cosa cabe aquí sin más contexto...

There's a strong possibility this is it.

Oh, wait, I've just seen the "negativo". That makes me doubt my answer, although on some tests, "negative" is just used as a synonym for "normal", so I won't take it down (yet/unless I find a better one).
Peer comment(s):

neutral philgoddard : As you say, I would expect this to show a number rather than simply "negative".
