Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that this term may be used in specialized cardiology contexts. It is important to stick to the glossary term 'endocarditis sifilítica de válvula aórtica' and avoid colloquial terms that may arise in conversation, such as 'infección del corazón por sífilis'. Misunderstanding the specificity of 'syphilitic' may lead to confusion with other types of endocarditis.

Example Sentences

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing with non-syphilitic endocarditis; mispronouncing 'sifilítica'; using overly general terms instead of the specific diagnosis.
