Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should maintain a formal register when discussing this diagnosis, as it is a serious condition. Be aware that some may refer to it simply as 'tuberculosis' without specifying the lung involvement, which can lead to confusion. It is important to stick to the glossary term in clinical settings to ensure clarity.
