Late stage syphilis, including rare cutaneous forms, is increasing and often presents with atypical neurological symptoms. Diagnosis relies on positive serology and rapid treatment response.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Tertiary syphilis, a late stage of infection, remains a significant health concern.
  • Atypical presentations of neurosyphilis are increasingly recognized.
  • Cutaneous and mucosal tertiary syphilis is rare and often misdiagnosed.

Observation:

  • The study reviewed 32 cases of cutaneous and mucosal tertiary syphilis from 1963-1980.
  • Clinical presentations varied, including nodules and gummas, leading to scarring.
  • Neurological manifestations were noted in atypical, often unrecognized forms.

Findings:

  • Late-stage syphilis, particularly cutaneous forms, appears to be increasing.
  • Serological tests are consistently positive and crucial for diagnosis.

  • Histopathology offers limited diagnostic value.

    • Implications:

    • Increased awareness of atypical presentations is vital for early diagnosis.
    • Prompt serological testing and treatment response are key diagnostic indicators.
    • Further research into the rising incidence and varied manifestations of syphilis is warranted.
