Description

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that the term may be used in contexts discussing opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients. Common variants that may arise include 'leishmaniasis en pacientes con VIH' or 'leishmaniasis en personas con inmunodeficiencia'. It is important to stick to the glossary term in formal medical discussions to maintain clarity.

Common Interpreter Mistakes
