Description

Secondary syphilis of other sites refers to the stage of syphilis where systemic dissemination occurs, leading to lesions and symptoms in various locations beyond the primary site of infection. This stage is characterized by the presence of skin rashes, mucous membrane lesions, and lymphadenopathy.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that patients may use terms like 'sífilis secundaria' or 'sífilis diseminada' colloquially. It's important to maintain a formal register and use the canonical term in clinical settings to avoid confusion. Be cautious of mixing this term with primary or tertiary syphilis, as they refer to different stages of the disease.

Example Sentences

EN: The patient was diagnosed with secondary syphilis of other sites after presenting with multiple lesions.

ES: El paciente fue diagnosticado con sífilis secundaria de otros sitios tras presentar múltiples lesiones.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing secondary syphilis with primary syphilis; misunderstanding the term 'otros sitios' as referring only to skin; mispronouncing 'sífilis' leading to ambiguity.
