Interpreter Notes

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