Abstract

Syphilis is a re-emerging disease, and suspicion of syphilis infection should be considered in all cases with atypical skin manifestations, mainly when there is a history of unprotected sexual intercourse. Here, we describe a case of secondary syphilis in a woman aged 42 years, who presented with an atypical, painful and itchy skin rash with vegetative cerebriform lesions, which resolved after the administration of penicillin. Multiplex PCR targeting Treponema pallidum on vaginal and lesion swabs, along with syphilis serology, confirmed the diagnosis.

梅毒伴非典型植物性病变的有趣病例。
梅毒是一种复发性疾病,凡是有非典型皮肤表现的病例,尤其是有无保护性交史者,均应考虑梅毒感染。在这里,我们描述了一个42岁的女性继发性梅毒病例,她表现为非典型的、疼痛和瘙痒的皮疹,伴有植物性脑样病变,在给予青霉素后消退。阴道和病变拭子上针对梅毒螺旋体的多重PCR以及梅毒血清学证实了诊断。
