Description

Typhoid enteritis is an intestinal inflammation caused by the bacterium Salmonella Typhi. It is characterized by symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fever, often resulting from contaminated food or water.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that they may hear variants like 'fiebre entérica' or 'tifus', but it is crucial to stick to 'enteritis tifoidea' in formal contexts. Remember to use the 'por [agente]' phrasing when discussing the infectious agent, as in 'enteritis por Salmonella typhi'.

Example Sentences

EN: The patient was diagnosed with typhoid enteritis after showing symptoms of severe gastrointestinal distress.

ES: Al paciente se le diagnosticó enteritis tifoidea tras presentar síntomas de grave malestar gastrointestinal.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing typhoid enteritis with fiebre paratifoidea A/B/C; mispronouncing 'Salmonella Typhi'; using informal terms instead of the clinical term.
