IR

English translation: immunoréactive

French term or phrase: IR
These are tests done on a pregnant woman. Toxo = toxoplasmosis. Text is Tunisian.

"Sérologies : toxo(IR)- Rubéole (IR), syphilis (-) et Ag Hbs (-)"

I've seen "relative index" in KudoZ but I don't think it applies to these tests. I've also see "index of reactivity" but I don't think it's an index, it's the result of the tests. My thought is perhaps the result of the test for these diseases is "immune response" but I would have thought it would be "RI" if that were the case.

neutral  philgoddard: I don't see how IR in French can become RAI in English.
