Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that the term 'infecciones intestinales por Salmonella' is the preferred clinical phrasing in Spanish. Common variants like 'fiebre entérica' or 'tifus' may be encountered but should be avoided in formal contexts. It is important to use the correct infectious agent phrasing to maintain clarity, following the guideline of using 'por [agente]' patterns.
