Description

Syphilis, stage unspecified, of bone refers to a condition where the bone is affected by the syphilis infection, but the specific stage of the disease is not identified. This can lead to complications in diagnosis and treatment, as the manifestations of syphilis can vary significantly across its stages.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that the term may be used in various clinical settings, and it is important to maintain a formal register. Colloquial alternatives like 'sífilis ósea' may be heard, but it is recommended to stick to the glossary term for clarity in formal contexts.
