Description

Late syphilitic synovitis is a complication of syphilis that affects the synovial joints, leading to inflammation and pain. It typically occurs in the later stages of the disease and may result in significant joint damage if not treated appropriately.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that 'sinovitis sifilítica tardía' is the formal term used in clinical settings. Variants such as 'sinovitis por sífilis' may be heard but should be avoided in formal contexts. Ensure clarity in communication, as patients may confuse this with other types of synovitis.

Example Sentences
