If so, can the "conservative approach" below refer to either "conservative therapy", "conservative management", "conservation treatment" or "expectant treatment"?
Context:
Because of evidence of an increased risk of chronic carriage in infants of
HBeAg-positive women with a high HBV DNA level,we recommend that a conservative approach is taken in the rare case of an anti-HBe-positive women, previously known to have HBV DNA in excess of 107 copies/mL.
In this sentence, it means method of treatment.
"Conservative" here means not aggressive or radical.
@PUNKEY,
In this case I think it means "careful". In the cases of "conservative therapy", "conservative management", I think that "not radical" is more accurate.
Yes; I meant not aggressive or not radical.
Stumble It!
