Description

Sepsis due to Salmonella infection is a serious medical condition characterized by a systemic inflammatory response to a Salmonella infection. It can lead to multiple organ dysfunction and requires prompt medical attention and treatment.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that the term may be used in various clinical settings, and it is important to maintain a formal register. The preferred phrasing is 'infecciones por Salmonella' rather than 'debido a Salmonella' to align with Spanish medical terminology guidelines. Avoid colloquial terms like 'tifus' or 'paratifus' in formal contexts.

Example Sentences

EN: The patient was diagnosed with sepsis due to Salmonella infection without mention of septic shock.

ES: El paciente fue diagnosticado con sepsis por infección de Salmonella sin mencionar el shock séptico.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing Salmonella with similar-sounding terms like 'Salmonelosis'; using informal terms instead of the clinical term; mispronouncing 'Salmonella' in Spanish.
