Parkinson's disease · Different wording
Different wording The two terms share 帕金森 in their simplified forms but are different words. In Taiwan the standard term is 帕金森氏症; on the Mainland it is 帕金森病 - both point at “Parkinson's disease”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 帕金森氏症、帕金森病 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.
Neither term carries an HSK or TOCFL level in this table - this pair is dictionary-recorded, not syllabus-derived.
