    Area of Science:

    • Infectious Diseases
    • Gastroenterology
    • Sexual Health

    Background:

    • Syphilis, caused by Treponema pallidum, is a sexually transmitted infection.
    • Proctitis, or inflammation of the rectum, can be a manifestation of secondary syphilis.
    • Diagnosis and management of rectal syphilis are crucial for public health.

    Observation:

    • Two homosexual men presented with syphilitic proctitis.
    • Neither patient had detectable external primary chancres or a history of them.
    • One patient exhibited extensive rectal involvement up to 20 cm; the other had multifocal involvement.

    Findings:

    • Syphilitic proctitis can present without visible external lesions.
    • Rectal biopsy in one patient led to severe bleeding.

  • A Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction occurred after penicillin treatment in one case.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering rectal syphilis in homosexual men with proctitis, even without external chancres.
    • Underscores the potential for severe complications, including bleeding and systemic reactions, necessitating careful monitoring.
    • Emphasizes the need for thorough diagnostic evaluation and management protocols for proctitis in at-risk populations.
