Description

Skin diseases, infectious, refer to a range of conditions caused by pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites that affect the skin. These diseases can present with various symptoms, including rashes, lesions, and inflammation, and may require specific treatments based on the causative agent.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that the term 'Dermatopatías Infecciosas' is used in clinical contexts to refer specifically to infectious skin diseases. Variants such as 'infecciones cutáneas' may be heard colloquially, but it is recommended to use the glossary term in formal settings to maintain clarity.

Example Sentences

EN: The patient was diagnosed with skin diseases, infectious, after presenting with multiple rashes.

ES: El paciente fue diagnosticado con dermatopatías infecciosas tras presentar múltiples erupciones cutáneas.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing with 'dermatitis' which refers to inflammation; misinterpreting 'infectious' as 'contagioso'; using informal terms instead of the clinical term.
