Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that 'Colitis en la shigelosis por Shigella boydii' is the preferred clinical term in Spanish. It is important to use 'por [agente]' rather than 'debido a [agente]' when discussing infectious diseases. Common variants that may arise include colloquial terms like 'fiebre entérica' or 'tifus', which should be avoided in formal contexts.

Example Sentences

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing Shigella with Salmonella; using 'debido a' instead of 'por'; mispronouncing 'Shigella boydii'.
