By the way the patient has multiple sclerosis with high JC virus titer.
Any idea what HSZ is? Is it maybe a typo?
Thank you in advance!

Hemiparesis, or unilateral paresis, is weakness of one entire side of the body (hemi- means "half"). Hemiplegia is, in its most severe form, complete paralysis of half of the body.

Hemiparesis (and hemiplegia)
When someone with MS experiences weakness along one entire side of the body, they are experiencing hemiparesis. If that weakness becomes paralyzing, then it is referred to as hemiplegia.Sep 14, 2017

Discussion
I'd rather use a descriptive translation - signs and symptoms of focal/asymmetrical … or whatever - based on the link I provided. There is quite a number of Ghits - or else wait for somebody who knows it.
As Patricia pointed out, HSZ involve a range of different findings, so hemiparesis is too narrow.

"Pauschal gesprochen: Alle neurologischen Befunde, bei denen die
Symmetrie der Körperachse gestört ist.
Ein paar Beispiele wurden Dir weiter oben schon von jemand anderem
genannt. Die Liste wäre aber noch beliebig verlängerbar, zB
Pupillendifferenz, Kraftgradunterschiede li:re, Seitenungleichheit
Muskeleigenreflexe, etc, etc.
Derartige Befunde lenken zumindest den Verdacht auf ein fokal
neurologisches Geschehen. Bei generalisierten Prozessen ist meist kein
Seitenunterschied feststellbar."
