Abstract
- Syphilis and human immunodeficiency virus(HIV) disease may coexist, and syphilis is often the presenting infection of patients with concurrent HIV infection, because syphilis may accelerate development of immunodeficiency in HIV-infected persons, and conversely HIV infection causes reactivation of dormant syphilis. Cutaneous secondary syphilis in HIV-infected patients is often associated with unusual and severe clinical features. We report a 44-year-old man in that syphilis reactivated by HIV infection, and a 23-year-old man in that syphilis was a presenting sign of HIV infection.
