    Area of Science:

    • Pathology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Context:

    • Syphilis diagnosis can be challenging, particularly when clinical presentation is atypical.
    • Lymph node biopsies are crucial for definitive diagnosis in certain cases.

    Purpose:

    • To describe the histological features of syphilitic lymphadenitis.
    • To assess the diagnostic utility of lymph node histology in identifying syphilis.

    Summary:

    • Histological examination of 38 inguinal lymph nodes from 35 patients with syphilis (34 recent acquired, 1 tertiary) revealed characteristic findings.
    • Key features include perilymphadenitis, germinal center hyperplasia, reticular and plasma cell proliferation, eosinophils, and vasculitis. Treponemes were detected in 50% of cases using Warthin-Starry staining.
    • Histology aided in diagnosing syphilis missed clinically in two patients and identified misdiagnosed haemoblastomas in three.
