Abstract:
Endemic treponematoses are present in inter-tropical countries in Africa, America, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. Epidemiology and transmission of the disease are well known. After eradication in some countries after mass treatment in 1950-60, a resurgence of endemic treponematoses has been reported since 1980-90. We present 2 cases of endemic syphilis from the dermatology unit of the Maputo hospital, the first to be described in Mozambique. The endemic syphilis was probably facilitated by the social conditions induced by the Mozambican civil war between 1975 and 1993.
