Description

Typhoid arthritis is a rare complication of typhoid fever, characterized by joint inflammation due to the infection caused by Salmonella typhi. It can lead to significant pain and swelling in the affected joints, often requiring medical intervention.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that they may encounter variants like 'fiebre entérica' or 'fiebre paratifoidea A/B/C', but it is crucial to use 'artritis tifoidea' in formal contexts. Remember to apply the 'por [agente]' phrasing when discussing the infectious agent, such as 'infecciones por Salmonella typhi'.

Example Sentences

EN: The patient was diagnosed with typhoid arthritis after experiencing severe joint pain.

ES: El paciente fue diagnosticado con artritis tifoidea después de experimentar un dolor intenso en las articulaciones.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing with rheumatic fever; mispronouncing 'tifoidea'; using informal terms like 'tifus' in clinical settings.
