Description

Late syphilitic bursitis refers to inflammation of the bursa associated with syphilis in its later stages. This condition can lead to significant pain and discomfort in the sacroiliac joint, affecting mobility and quality of life.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that this term is specific to the late stages of syphilis and may not be familiar to all patients. Common variants that may arise include 'bursitis sifilítica' without the 'tardía' qualifier, which should be avoided in formal contexts to maintain clarity.

Example Sentences

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing with 'bursitis' from other causes; mispronouncing 'sacroilíaca'; using informal terms instead of the clinical term.
