Description

Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli infection is a type of bacterial infection caused by a specific strain of E. coli that invades the intestinal mucosa. It can lead to symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fever, similar to other forms of gastroenteritis.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that the term may be confused with other types of E. coli infections, such as enterotoxigenic E. coli. It is crucial to use the 'por [agente]' phrasing when discussing the infectious agent in Spanish, as in 'infección por Escherichia coli'. Avoid colloquial terms and stick to the clinical terminology provided.

Example Sentences
