This list of over 400 Danish-English medical terms was created to help researchers translate illnesses and diseases found in Danish records. Old writing styles such as capitalizing nouns and using "aa" for "Œ" appear in this list. Danish words with two or more English meanings have been listed twice with the English translations on separate lines so researchers may sort in English alphabetical order if they wish to download the whole list and create their own English-Danish list.
