Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that this term may be used in various clinical settings, particularly in infectious disease contexts. Common variants that may arise include 'poliserositis' or 'tuberculosis serosa', which are less formal and should be avoided in clinical interpretation. It is crucial to maintain the formal terminology to ensure clarity and accuracy.
