Description

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that patients may refer to Trichomonas infections in various ways, including 'infección por Trichomonas' or simply 'tricomoniasis'. It is important to maintain a formal register and avoid colloquial terms that may arise in casual conversation.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing 'Trichomonas' with 'Trichinella'; using informal terms instead of 'tricomoniasis'; mispronouncing 'tricomoniasis' as 'tricomonas'.
