Abstract

The incidence of syphilis is increasing and typically presents in patients with known risk factors, often to genitourinary physicians. Cases presenting to a dermatologist or ophthalmologist will more likely have secondary syphilis, which is potentially associated with complications. Early recognition is therefore vital to limit both the disease and risk of further contact spread. In this review, we include two case histories demonstrating the value of recognizing oral signs. Additionallym we review the currently accepted diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations.
