Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that the term 'enteritis por Campylobacter' is the preferred clinical terminology in Spanish. Variants like 'infección por Campylobacter' may be heard, but it is best to stick to the glossary term in formal contexts. Avoid using 'debido a' when referring to infectious agents, as 'por' is the standard phrasing.

Example Sentences
