Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should maintain a formal clinical register when discussing this term, as it pertains to a serious medical condition. It is important to use the 'por [agente]' phrasing for infectious diseases, such as 'infecciones por Salmonella', instead of 'debido a'. Avoid colloquial terms like 'tifus' and stick to the glossary term in formal contexts.
