Description

Salmonella osteomyelitis is a bone infection caused by the Salmonella bacteria, often associated with systemic infections or underlying conditions. It can occur in individuals with compromised immune systems or those with a history of Salmonella infections.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that 'osteomielitis por Salmonella' is the preferred clinical term in Spanish. It is important to use the 'por [agente]' phrasing consistently when discussing infections, as this reflects proper medical terminology. Avoid colloquial terms that may arise in conversation.

Example Sentences

EN: The patient was diagnosed with Salmonella osteomyelitis following a severe systemic infection.

ES: El paciente fue diagnosticado con osteomielitis por Salmonella tras una infección sistémica severa.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing with 'osteomielitis' caused by other bacteria; mispronouncing 'Salmonella'; using informal terms instead of the clinical term.
