Pneumonie d'étiologie inconnue
Another possible variant is: "pneumonie dont l'étiologie est inconnue". However, this option is wordy, and the first option works best.
Definition from
own experience or research:
Une pneumonie dont la cause (étiologie) demeure inconnue.
Example sentences:
"Le 31 décembre 2019, le Bureau de l’OMS en Chine a été informé de cas de pneumonie d’étiologie (de cause) inconnue détectés dans la ville de Wuhan, dans la province du Hubei, en Chine." (WHO, World Health Organization)
"L'Organisation mondiale de la santé a déclaré le 5 janvier qu'"il y a peu d'informations pour déterminer le risque global de cette grappe de pneumonies d'étiologie inconnue." Elle a déclaré ne pas recommander de mesures spécifiques pour les voyageurs, et "déconseille l'application de toute restriction de voyage ou de commerce sur la Chine sur la base des informations actuelles disponibles sur cet événement". " (Science & Avenir)
