Portuguese term or phrase: atingimento cutâneo

Having trouble finding the meaning of "atingimento" in medical setting. The study is from Portugal. Here is some context in various instances:

"O atingimento cutâneo ocorre frequentemente por inoculação direta do microorganismo com envolvimento de pele e tecidos moles sob a forma de nódulos, abcesso ou micetoma, por vezes com progressão linfática"

"Categorizámos as manifestações clínicas em doença localizada, quando havia envolvimento apenas de um órgão ou sistema, ou doença disseminada, quando os doentes apresentavam atingimento de dois ou mais órgãos ou sistemas"

"Um doente com doença disseminada, além de envolvimento pulmonar, apresentava bacteriemia, atingimento ósseo, urinário e tiroideu. "

Although the Médicos de Portugal website doesn't contain "atingimento" in their glossary, I found two examples on Google Search (please refer to my answer). The Priberam Dictionary defines "atingimento" as "äcto ou efeito de atingir". - https://dicionario.priberam.org/atingimento

In regards to "envolvimento", I would translate it as "involvement". Example:
"The prevalence of pulmonary involvement in this cohort study was 90%. Almost 1/3rd of patients, that is 29 (29%) were detected to have pulmonary involvement..." - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4797431/

These two words ("atingimento", "envolvimento") don't come across as being synonymous IMHO.

Parece que atingimento é termo usado no contexto médico. Veja os resultados de uma busca na Wikipedia.

1. (...) vezes a necessidade de suturar a ferida. Nas fraturas complicadas há atingimento de vasos sanguíneos ou nervos. Uma diminuição ou ausência dos pulsos

2. (vermelhidão cutânea) — que se espalha a partir de um ponto no corpo, sem atingimento palmar das mãos e pés, e da região peri-bucal (em torno da boca).

3. por Rickettsia, porém sem exantema: Febre alta; Cefaleias; Mialgias; Atingimento do rim, coração, cérebro; Disseminação hematológica e linfática.

Embora com a ressalva que a medicina não é de maneira alguma uma área em que tenha algum conhecimento especial, sugiro que uma tradução acertada seria "affect/affected".

1 hr confidence:

the skin is affected/involved

Explanation:
I think you're on the right track, but translating it is going to be difficult because we don't have a noun other than 'involvement' to refer to an affected area.

If my theory is correct, then the following restructuring might work:

1. 'The skin is often affected as a result of inoculation ...'

2. '... when two or more of a patient's organs are affected' (to avoid repeating 'involvement')

3. 'The patient with disseminated disease has involvement not only of the lungs but also the bones, urinary tract, and thyroid, as well as bacteremia. (Awkward, I admit!)

cutaneous reach

Explanation:
atingir: to reach - https://dictionary.reverso.net/portuguese-english/atingir

I found two example sentences with "cutaneous reach" in medical contexts:

"The flap is safe, reliable, and easy to raise, with constant vascular anatomy. The donor site functional deficit is minimal and the donor site may be closed by direct closure without the necessity of skin graft. Its ** cutaneous reach ** and arc of rotation make it a suitable source for skin and muscle replacement for the entire neck, face, and occipital region of the scalp and oral cavity." - https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/hed.28900601...

"The donor site functional deficit is minimal and the donor site may be closed by direct closure without a skin graft. Its ** cutaneous reach ** and arc of rotation make it a suitable source of skin and muscle replacement for the entire neck, face, and occipital region..." - https://books.google.com/books?id=SjZqBgAAQBAJ&pg=PA297&lpg=...

Compare with "atingimento ósseo" (osseous reach):

"Nevertheless, we consider that the 3D scanner is essential before the intervention to evaluate the osseous reach." - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27483577

The prevalence of medical terms is obvious. And medical terms beget a medical translation:

"Cutaneous reach often occurs through direct inoculation of the microorganism with involvement of the skin as well as soft tissues in the form of nodules, abscesses or mycetoma, at times with lymphatic progression."

"A patient with a disease that had spread out, besides pulmonary involvement, showed [symptoms of] bacteremia as well as osseous, urinary, and thyroid conditions."
