Guest guest Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Hi Owen, Don't know if this will help but my Zanichelli IT-EN medical dictionary has an entry for subittero suggesting the translation is " latent jaundice " or " occult jaundice " and advising that in this mild form of jaundice the yellow colouring is restricted to the mucous membranes and the whites of the eyes (my rough translation as the explanations are only in Italian). I am not overly convinced that the proposed translations are correct as both terms are quite rare (especially the second one) and mild jaundice seems far more common but I did find plenty of sites talking about a yellowish tinge so perhaps this or something similar would work, however I'm really stating the obvious as it must surely be some shade or other of yellow.
