Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Rheumatology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Syphilis is re-emerging as a significant clinical challenge.
  • Clinicians require updated knowledge on syphilis manifestations, diagnostics, and treatment.
  • Musculoskeletal syphilis can mimic other rheumatic diseases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the clinical manifestations of syphilis, focusing on musculoskeletal involvement.
  • To highlight the importance of updated diagnostic methods and treatment outcomes.
  • To emphasize the interaction between syphilis and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infections.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of classic and contemporary syphilis presentations.
  • Analysis of diagnostic advancements in syphilis detection.
  • Review of therapeutic outcomes and management strategies.

Main Results:

  • Musculoskeletal manifestations occur in congenital, secondary, and tertiary syphilis.
  • These manifestations can mimic various rheumatic and systemic conditions.
  • Congenital and secondary syphilis-related musculoskeletal symptoms resolve with timely diagnosis and antibiotic therapy.

Conclusions:

  • Syphilis, particularly its musculoskeletal manifestations, requires renewed clinical attention.
  • Accurate diagnosis and prompt antibiotic treatment are crucial for favorable outcomes in congenital and secondary syphilis.
  • Understanding syphilis's diverse presentations and its association with HIV is essential for effective patient management.
