Description

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that patients may use colloquial terms or describe symptoms rather than the formal diagnosis. It's important to stick to the term 'infección gonocócica del recto' in clinical contexts to avoid confusion with other rectal conditions or infections.
