Syphilitic pemphigus

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
