Description

Sepsis due to Shigella is a severe medical condition resulting from an infection caused by the Shigella bacteria. It is characterized by the body's extreme response to an infection, leading to systemic inflammation and potential organ dysfunction, but without the presence of septic shock.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should ensure they use the formal term 'sepsis por Shigella' rather than 'debido a Shigella' to align with the preferred infectious agent phrasing. It is important to maintain a clinical register and avoid colloquial terms. Be cautious of regional variations in terminology that may confuse the clinical context.

Example Sentences

EN: The patient was diagnosed with sepsis due to shigella without mention of septic shock.

ES: El paciente fue diagnosticado con sepsis debido a Shigella sin mencionar el shock séptico.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing 'sepsis' with 'shock séptico'; using informal language instead of clinical terminology; mispronouncing 'Shigella' in Spanish.
