Description

Scabietic papules or nodules are skin lesions associated with scabies, caused by the Sarcoptes scabiei mite. These lesions can appear as small, itchy bumps or larger nodules, often found in areas where the mites burrow into the skin.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that patients may use colloquial terms or may refer to related conditions like 'sarna' or 'mange', which should be avoided in clinical contexts. It is important to maintain a formal register and use the canonical term to ensure clarity and accuracy.

Example Sentences

EN: The patient presented with scabietic papules or nodules on their arms and back.

ES: El paciente presentó pápulas o nódulos escabiáticos en los brazos y la espalda.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing 'scabietic' with 'scabies'; mispronouncing 'escabiáticos'; mixing up with other skin conditions like eczema.
