Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that this term may be used in discussions about complications arising from untreated syphilis. It is important to maintain a formal register and avoid colloquial terms that may confuse the clinical context. Common variants might include 'bursitis sifilítica' without the 'tardía' descriptor, which should be avoided in formal settings.

Common Interpreter Mistakes
