Description

Chlamydial cystitis or urethritis refers to inflammation of the bladder or urethra caused by the Chlamydia trachomatis bacteria. It is a common sexually transmitted infection that can lead to significant discomfort and complications if left untreated.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that patients may refer to this condition using more general terms like 'infección urinaria' or 'infección por clamidia', which are less specific. It is important to maintain the clinical terminology to ensure accurate communication. Avoid colloquial terms that may not be universally understood.

Example Sentences

ES: El paciente fue diagnosticado con cistitis o uretritis clamidial después de presentar síntomas de disuria.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing with non-chlamydial urinary infections; mispronouncing 'clamidial'; using overly general terms instead of the specific diagnosis.
