French term

RAV: 04/09/08

French to English Medical Medical (general) Doctor's notes on a patient's medical record
Hello,
I'm hoping someone out there will be able to help with the translation of the abovementioned acronym 'RAV'. It has been written by a doctor on a patient's medical notes. It appears under a list of the patient's medical symptoms and under a list of recommended medication. Is it related to the date of consultation, or the date of the patient's next consultation, or something else entirely?
Any suggestions appreciated.
Many thanks,
Joanna

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thank you for all your responses. I have gone with this answer because it fits the acronym and makes sense in the context, thanks Lionel_M. I can see how in another situation, it might stand for 'rendez-vous', Sharon, or the vaccination that you mention, Liz, but I am most comfortable going with 'Revoir Avant le...' here. Thanks both. Unfortunately, Anne-Marie, it's not possible to work it out for sure from the info. that I have."

Mon mari marque cela comme abréviation pour 'rendez-vous' tout simplement - mais à confirmer par un médecin.

neutral Lionel_M (X) : Confusion avec RDV ?: Demandes lui ! Car une chose est sure, c'est que RAV n'est pas un RDV en FR

non, du tout c'est bien RAV qu'il emploie.... peut-etre dans le sens de rendez vous à voir qqn..
neutral Gabrielle Leyden : "appointment" more logical than "see again before" - most reports specify the next appointment date

La vaccination allergénique rapide (RAV) est un terme modernisé pour ce qui était auparavant appelé « rush immunothérapie », la désensibilisation rapide apporte des avantages par rapport à l ’immunothérapie traditionnelle, appelée ici vaccination allergénique conventionnelle (CAV), en termes de rapidité d’efficacité, meilleure compliance et meilleur rapport coût/efficacité.

You really should supply several sentences in from the original French medical text. Context is everything!
