This is a 10-year-old with a previous history of ITP, minimally positive ANA and anticardiolipin antibodies.
Sentence in question:
Most recent blood work showed a s/l dirty urine, and she had antibodies to s/l La/SSB (is this correct way to type ?) while being ANA-negative.
Does sentence make sense? Thanks.

Here is the sentence I'm struggling with:
"On Humphrey visual field 30-2 testing on the right, the patient has a foveal sensitivity of 35 __ and a mean deviation of -2.6 __. "
I can't tell if the doctor is saying "DD" as in disk diameter, or "dB" as in decibels. I found both in Stedman's Ophthalmology Words. Using Google, dB seemed to pertain to light intensity measurement, but it sounded more like this had to do with the measuring instrument than the eye itself.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.... I HATE abbreviations!
