Abstract

Syphilitic balanitis is an uncommon rather underreported manifestation of primary syphilis initially described by Eugene Follmann and subsequently named after him. It is characterized by balanitis with or without a primary chancre and inguinal lymphadenopathy. Given its rarity, Follmann balanitis may be misdiagnosed with other causes of balanitis. Therefore, a strong clinical suspicion and awareness are crucial, particularly in the current resurgence of syphilis. With this background, we hereby report a case of Follmann balanitis in secondary syphilis, diagnosed based on clinical features, positive syphilis serology, and response to benzathine penicillin treatment.

继发性梅毒中的福尔曼包皮龟头炎
梅毒性包皮龟头炎是原发性梅毒的一种不常见的表现,最初由尤金-福尔曼(Eugene Follmann)描述,后来以他的名字命名。其特征是包皮龟头炎伴有或不伴有原发性软下疳和腹股沟淋巴结病。鉴于其罕见性,福尔曼包皮龟头炎可能会被误诊为其他原因引起的包皮龟头炎。因此,强烈的临床怀疑和认识至关重要,尤其是在梅毒重新抬头的今天。在此背景下,我们特此报告一例继发梅毒的福尔曼包皮龟头炎病例,该病例的诊断依据是临床特征、梅毒血清学阳性以及对苄星青霉素治疗的反应。
