Description

Duodenitis due to Cytomegalovirus is an inflammation of the duodenum caused by the cytomegalovirus, a common virus that can affect various organs. This condition may present with gastrointestinal symptoms and is often diagnosed through endoscopy and biopsy.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that the term 'duodenitis' may be confused with similar gastrointestinal conditions. It is important to use the formal term 'duodenitis debido a citomegalovirus' in clinical contexts, avoiding colloquial alternatives. The phrase 'debido a' is less preferred than 'por' in infectious disease contexts, so interpreters should ensure they use the correct phrasing.

Example Sentences

EN: The patient was diagnosed with Duodenitis due to Cytomegalovirus after presenting with abdominal pain.

ES: El paciente fue diagnosticado con Duodenitis debido a citomegalovirus tras presentar dolor abdominal.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Mixing up duodenitis with gastritis; using informal language instead of formal clinical terms; mispronouncing 'citomegalovirus' in Spanish.
