Abstract
BOUCEIRO-MENDES, Rita et al. Extensive Condylomata Lata as the Only Manifestation of Secondary Syphilis. Rev Soc Port Dermatol Venereol [online]. 2021, vol.79, n.3, pp.69-71. Epub Sep 30, 2021. ISSN 2182-2395. https://doi.org/10.29021/spdv.79.3.1346.
Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection with a multiplicity of clinical presentations that has been known for centuries. Recently, a new wave of syphilis has been reported in developed countries and men who have sex with men, especially those coinfected with human immu-nodeficiency virus (HIV), have the highest rates of syphilis infection. In these patients, cutaneous manifestation can be even more diverse. We report a case of secondary syphilis in a young male patient coinfected with HIV whose presentation consisted of extensive condylomata lata lesions.
