Converted is a term used in medical parlance to refer to a change in the state or condition of a patient, often in the context of a disease or disorder. This change can be either positive or negative, depending on the context and the specific condition being referred to.
Definition[edit | edit source]
The term "converted" in medicine is used to describe a change in the state or condition of a patient. This change can be either positive or negative, depending on the context and the specific condition being referred to. For example, a patient may be said to have "converted" if they have gone from being disease-free to having a disease, or vice versa.
Usage in Medicine[edit | edit source]
In medicine, the term "converted" is often used in the context of infectious diseases. For example, a person may be said to have "converted" if they have gone from being HIV-negative to HIV-positive. This usage of the term reflects the fact that the person's status has changed as a result of a medical test.
The term can also be used in the context of non-infectious diseases. For example, a person with cancer may be said to have "converted" if their cancer has gone from being localized to being metastatic. This usage of the term reflects the fact that the person's disease status has changed in a significant way.
