Adverse reactions to medication protocols
This is a procedural manual for handling reports of adverse reactions to specific pharmaceutical medicines. There are a number of ways to translate the term "Pré-caso" but all of them sound awkward to me. I would appreciate suggestions. Here is the whole passage (which in intself is straightforward):
"Todo relato inicial de Suspeita de RAM é considerado um pré-caso. O pré-caso poderá ser encerrado de acordo com os "Critérios de encerramento de um pré-caso" ou avaliação do Comitê Interno de Farmacovigilância. Uma suspeita de reação adversa será encerrada quando apresentar ausência de critérios mínimos ou dados inconsistentes."
TIA!

Comment: "Rh, thank you for this thorough answer. This was one of three possibilities. It is really a "pre-case reporting phase or stage" but I think "preliminary case" sounds tighter and better in English. I appreciate everyone's confirmation. This is what I am using in the final translation. Abraços."
