Keywords: syphilis, secondary recurrent syphilis, cardiovascular syphilis, differential diagnosis, toxicodermia, Gibert's disease, pityriasis versicolor, clinical case
Syphilis is one of socially significant and dangerous diseases that continues to cause concern in the medical and public consciousness due to its prevalence and serious consequences. Syphilis caused by Tr.Pallidum can be transmitted in various ways, including sexual, transplacental, transfusion one and through household contact. The course of the disease characteristic of syphilis is divided into three periods: primary, secondary and tertiary, each with its own specific symptoms. The secondary period is manifested by various morphological changes on the skin, such as roseolas, papulae, vesicles, and others. In addition to the skin, the infection affects internal organs, more often the cardiovascular system in the form of myocarditis, endocarditis and damage to the nervous system. The article presents a clinical case of secondary recurrent syphilis in a woman, its features and manifestations, and shows the approach to the diagnosis and treatment of this disease. Given the increasing number of syphilis cases and its severity, it is necessary to pay attention to the prevention and timely treatment of the disease. The purpose of the work is to draw doctors attention to the clinical polymorphism of manifestations of the secondary recurrent syphilis period.
