Description

Colitis due to paratyphoid fever C is an inflammatory condition of the colon caused by the Salmonella enterica serotype Paratyphi C. It is characterized by diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fever, and is associated with the ingestion of contaminated food or water.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that they may hear variations 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 for infectious diseases, as in 'colitis por Salmonella'. Stick to the glossary term for clarity and accuracy.

Example Sentences

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing paratyphoid with typhoid fever; using 'debido a' instead of 'por' for infectious agents; mispronouncing 'paratifoidea'.
