Description

Salmonella enteritis is an infection of the intestinal tract caused by the Salmonella bacteria, leading to symptoms such as diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps. It is commonly associated with the consumption of contaminated food or water.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that they may hear variations like 'fiebre entérica' or 'tifus', but it is important to stick to 'Enteritis de Salmonella' in formal contexts. Use the 'por [agente]' phrasing to describe the infection accurately, as per the Spanish medical terminology style guide.

Example Sentences

ES: El paciente fue diagnosticado con enteritis de Salmonella por experimentar síntomas gastrointestinales severos.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing Salmonella enteritis with other types of salmonellosis; mispronouncing 'Salmonella'; using informal terms instead of the canonical term.
