Description

Intestinal infections due to Entamoeba are caused by parasitic organisms that can lead to severe gastrointestinal symptoms, including diarrhea and abdominal pain. These infections are particularly common in areas with poor sanitation and can be transmitted through contaminated food or water.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that patients might refer to this condition using terms like 'amebiasis' or 'infección por ameba', which are colloquial and may not be appropriate in formal medical contexts. It is essential to maintain the clinical terminology to ensure clarity and accuracy in communication.

Example Sentences

ES: El paciente fue diagnosticado con infecciones intestinales debido a Entamoeba después de presentar diarrea severa.

Common Interpreter Mistakes
