Description

Gonococcal bursitis of the ankle or foot is an inflammatory condition caused by the infection of the bursa, typically due to Neisseria gonorrhoeae. This condition can lead to pain, swelling, and limited mobility in the affected joint area.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that patients may use terms like 'bursitis por gonococo' or simply 'bursitis' in casual conversation. It is important to maintain a formal register and use the canonical term 'bursitis gonocócica, tobillo o pie' in clinical settings to avoid confusion with other types of bursitis.

Example Sentences

EN: The patient was diagnosed with gonococcal bursitis, ankle or foot, after presenting with swelling and pain.

ES: El paciente fue diagnosticado con bursitis gonocócica, tobillo o pie, después de presentar hinchazón y dolor.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing gonococcal bursitis with other types of bursitis; mispronouncing 'gonocócica'; using informal terms instead of the canonical term.
