SOARES, Elisa; BRANDAO, Pedro  y  TORGAL, Ana. Primary syphilis - an atypical presentation. Acta Obstet Ginecol Port [online]. 2020, vol.14, n.2, pp.102-103. ISSN 1646-5830.

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease caused by the spirochete Treponema pallidum. The clinical manifestations of this disease vary widely, according to its stage. Primary syphilis typically presents as a single painless genital ulcer. The authors report a case of an atypical presentation of primary syphilis: multiple vulvar, perianal and between the buttocks ulcerated and very painful papules and plaques, with seropurulent exudate.

Palabras clave : Primary Syphilis; Vulvar ulcers; Treponema pallidum.
