Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that the term may be used in discussions about sexually transmitted infections and reproductive health. Common variants that may arise include 'salpingitis crónica' or 'salpingitis por gonococo', but it is important to stick to the glossary term in formal contexts to avoid confusion.
