Description

Enteritis in enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli infection refers to inflammation of the intestine caused by a specific strain of E. coli that produces enterotoxins. This condition often leads to diarrhea and abdominal cramps, particularly in travelers or in areas with poor sanitation.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that the term 'enteritis por Escherichia coli enterotoxigénica' is the preferred clinical phrasing in Spanish. Common variants may include colloquial terms like 'diarrea por E. coli', which should be avoided in formal contexts. Adhering to the 'por [agente]' phrasing is crucial for accurate interpretation.

Example Sentences

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing with other types of enteritis; mispronouncing 'Escherichia coli'; using informal terms instead of the clinical reference.
