Bejel, a non-venereal endemic syphilis, has reappeared in Turkey after a 30-year absence. This report details a family cluster of four cases, highlighting the resurgence of this rare condition.

Area of Science:

  • Medicine
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Bejel is a non-venereal endemic syphilis, historically prevalent in arid regions.
  • No cases of bejel had been reported in Turkey for over three decades, suggesting a potential eradication or underreporting.

Observation:

  • A family cluster of four individuals, including three children and their father, presented with symptoms consistent with bejel.
  • The cases involved a review of their medical history, clinical examinations, and laboratory diagnostic results.

Findings:

  • The diagnosis of bejel was confirmed through clinical presentation and laboratory investigations.
  • Treatment protocols were initiated, and the outcomes were monitored and documented.

Implications:

  • This resurgence indicates that bejel may still be a threat in regions where it was previously thought to be eliminated.
  • Public health surveillance and awareness are crucial for early detection and control of endemic syphilis forms like bejel.
  • Further research into the transmission dynamics and potential risk factors in the region is warranted.
