Interpreter Notes

Interpreters may encounter variations such as 'faringitis por estreptococos' or 'faringitis bacteriana', but it is essential to use 'Faringitis estreptocócica' in formal contexts. Be aware of the clinical setting, as this term is often used in pediatric and general practice.

Example Sentences

ES: El médico diagnosticó al niño con faringitis estreptocócica después de examinar su garganta.

Common Interpreter Mistakes
