Description

Typhoid bowel ulcer refers to the intestinal ulcers that can develop as a complication of typhoid fever, primarily caused by the bacterium Salmonella Typhi. These ulcers can lead to serious gastrointestinal issues if not properly managed.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that terms like 'fiebre entérica' and 'fiebre paratifoidea A/B/C' may be used colloquially, but it is essential to stick to the canonical term 'úlcera intestinal tifoidea' in formal contexts. The use of 'por Salmonella Typhi' is critical when discussing the infectious agent to maintain clarity and accuracy.

Example Sentences

EN: The patient was diagnosed with a typhoid bowel ulcer after experiencing severe gastrointestinal symptoms.

ES: El paciente fue diagnosticado con una úlcera intestinal tifoidea por Salmonella Typhi después de experimentar síntomas gastrointestinales severos.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing typhoid with paratyphoid; mispronouncing 'tifoidea'; using informal terms instead of the clinical term.
