Russian term

интоксикация (в контексте)

COVID-19 Russian to English Medical Medical: Health Care Respiratory diseases
Differential diagnosis for COVID-19 and other respiratory diseases.

Full sentence: Слабость, интоксикация, ринит, ринорея, (обильное серозное выделение из носа), покраснения и мацерация кожи вокруг носа.

This is clearly not intoxication or toxicity(?) so what is it in English? TIA!

От неспециалиста от слова совсем Чисто с языковой точки зрения, наверное, следует написать не intoxication, а "symptoms of intoxication" - тогда и в предложении все встанет на место, а иначе по-русски перечисляются и симптомы, и состояние, поэтому немного режет ухо. А уж какая интоксикация - эндо-, экзо-, вирусная инфекция и пр., это вопрос конкретных анализов. Извините, если что не так.

Article Dear Natalia, you may be right, but the article you are referring to has been translated from Russian to English and it is the ONLY article I have found so far that uses the term "COVID-19 intoxication". Which doesn't fill me with confidence about the correctness of the translation.

Согласен с Натальей. См. напр. https://tinyurl.com/4dut7t9x

This is clearly intoxication - the term describes organism reaction, not "toxicity" that is about an agent ability to cause intoxication. You may check this term relative to COVID in https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7465708/

intoxication

Covid-19 is a virus, and viral intoxication being a widely-used term, I'd opt for this version.
Example sentence:

As a result the more quick regression of viral intoxication, improvement of functions of the external breathing and increasing saturation of the blood oxygen...

In fact, the cardiopulmonary system is involved with a viral overload and intoxication instead of pneumonia.
