What does STS stand for?

I am doing a care plan on my patient and it says her medical diagnosis is STS fever and STS seizure today // CVA seizures.

I tried googling and a lot of different things come up. Can someone help me out in understanding what the STS stands for? I would really appreciate it!

    What are the patient's symptoms and your assessment data maybe we can go backward. But this is a prime example of why to NOT use non-standard abbreviation

    Also what context? Was this a chart entry? On a demographic face sheet print out. (Sometimes there are facility specific internal codes used by case management and medical records that appear on demographic facesheet)

    Thank you so much for your responses. It was on the patient's Kardex. The patient presented with a history of nausea and diarrhea for the past 4 days and she thought she had a seizure that day. She has a history of seizures. I really can't find anything online that makes sense for this situation. I think I'm just going to explain the situation to my professor. Thank you very much though.

    That makes no sense in the context "soft tissue swelling/fever" and "soft tissue swelling/seizure". Now soft tissue swelling with an abscess, infection, injury, arthritis...
