Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that this term is often used in the context of HIV-related complications and may be confused with tuberculosis infections. It is important to maintain a formal register and avoid colloquial terms that may arise in patient discussions. Common variants may include references to specific mycobacterial species, but it is essential to stick to the glossary term in formal contexts.
