Loss of fingerprints

There are many more similar articles. I agree that the Dutch word Cave which is actually Latin means Beware but in this context, although Cave does not literally mean "loss", I would translate Cave vingerafdruk as loss of fingerprints

I would say "NB" rather than "warning", which is a bit dramatic.

Tina Vonhof (X)
: I read it as "let op: vingerafdruk", which could include the loss of it, as Textpertise suggests.

: Neither 'warning' nor 'NB' really works here. 'caution' comes closer, but I would use 'beware of', widely used in medical texts.

cave canem
beware of the dog
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/cave_canem
cave - beware! - especially used by Doctors of Medicine, when they want to warn each other (e.g.: "cave nephrolithiases" in order to warn about side effects of an uricosuric).

Capecitabine and the Risk of Fingerprint Loss
Anticancer treatments are frequently accompanied by cutaneous adverse effects: capecitabine treatment induces hand-foot syndrome (HFS) in approximately 50% to 60% of patients, whereas hand-foot skin reaction (HFSR) has been reported in 19% to 34% of patients treated with the tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) sunitinib malate or sorafenib tosylate.1 Ultimately, these cutaneous adverse events are believed to result in the loss of fingerprints, which, to our knowledge, has been described anecdotally for patients treated with capecitabine2-6 and can cause serious identification problems. We assessed the association of HFS and HFSR with fingerprint quality.
