Malignant Syphilis with Ocular Involvement and Organism‐Depleted Lesions

Abstract

Diagnosis and treatment of syphilis are challenging because of the condition's diverse clinical symptoms, histopathological variance, and the lack of definite tests for treatment follow-up. We report a case of secondary pustular-ulcerative malignant syphilis with ocular involvement in a human immunodeficiency virus—infected patient. It was striking to find that ulcerative lesions can be highly organism depleted.
