Description

Colitis due to paratyphoid fever A is an inflammatory condition of the colon caused by infection with Salmonella enterica serotype Paratyphi A. It typically presents with diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fever, and is associated with the consumption of contaminated food or water.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that they may hear variants such as 'fiebre entérica' or 'paratifus', which are colloquial and should be avoided in formal contexts. It is important to use the 'por [agente]' phrasing when discussing infectious diseases, as in 'colitis por Salmonella enterica serotipo Paratyphi A'.

Example Sentences

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing paratyphoid fever with typhoid fever; using informal terms like 'tifus'; mixing up the serotype with other Salmonella infections.
