English term or phrase: in isolated cases
I don't know what "in isolated cases" exactly mean in the following sentences/contexts and how to translate it into Japanese. Can I translate it as "まれに” (as in "in rare cases")? Your help is very much appreciated.

Side effects: Persons with known hypersensitivity to plants of the daisy family (Asteraceae e. g. arnica) may react in isolated cases with hypersensitivity.

Hypersensitivity reactions may occur in isolated cases in people with known hypersensitivity to plants of the composite family (eg, Arnica).

まれに
Explanation:
Most often "isolated cases" means rarely. I think this is the case here as it seems obvious from context the author is discussing rare cases.
