Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that this term may be encountered in discussions about opportunistic infections in HIV patients. Common variants include 'infección por Cryptosporidium' or simply 'criptosporidiosis', but it is important to use the full term in formal contexts to maintain clarity. Avoid colloquial terms that may not accurately convey the clinical significance of the diagnosis.
