Description

Syphilitic pemphigus is a rare skin condition associated with syphilis, characterized by the presence of blisters and erosions on the skin. It typically occurs in the secondary stage of syphilis and can be confused with other blistering disorders.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that 'Pmfígamo sifilítico' may not be commonly used in all Spanish-speaking regions, and some might refer to it simply as 'ampollas sifilíticas' or 'erupciones sifilíticas', which are more colloquial. It is important to maintain a formal register and stick to the glossary term in clinical contexts to avoid confusion.

Example Sentences

EN: The patient was diagnosed with syphilitic pemphigus after presenting with multiple blisters on the skin.

ES: El paciente fue diagnosticado con pmfígamo sifilítico después de presentar múltiples ampollas en la piel.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing with pemphigus vulgaris; mispronouncing 'pmfígamo'; using informal terminology instead of the clinical term.
