Secondary syphilis presents diverse clinicopathologic features, varying with lesion type. Close collaboration between clinicians and pathologists is crucial for accurate diagnosis in the HIV era.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Syphilis resurgence necessitates understanding its clinicopathologic features.
  • Secondary syphilis manifestations require detailed study.
  • Focus on HIV era syphilis epidemiology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Correlate clinical and histopathologic findings of secondary syphilis.
  • Describe the spectrum of histopathologic changes.
  • Enhance diagnostic accuracy through integrated analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 40 mucocutaneous lesion biopsies.
  • Study included 31 consecutive patients with secondary syphilis.
  • Correlation of histopathologic findings with clinical presentation.

Main Results:

  • Observed a range of histopathologic changes, from minimal infiltrate to granulomatous inflammation.
  • Inflammation patterns correlated with lesion type (macules vs. nodules).
  • Predominant infiltrate was mononuclear cells/lymphocytes; plasma cells and endothelial proliferation were infrequent.

Conclusions:

  • Histologic manifestations of secondary syphilis are highly variable.
  • Close clinician-pathologist interaction is vital for diagnosis.
  • Integration of clinical, serologic, and histologic data improves syphilis diagnosis.
