ABSTRACT

In the era of HIV infection there is a resurgence of syphilis. Without a doubt it is still a diagnostic dilemma in various clinical situations such as anorectal syphilis in HIV patients. When a patient HIV-positive presents with a rectal tumor, syphilis must be considered in the differential diagnosis. We present a case report of an HIV positive patient who consulted due to rectal tenesmus associated to rectal bleeding, being diagnosed a rectal tumor and treated secondary to primary syphilis.


En la era de la infección por VIH, ha habido un resurgimiento de enfermedades en franca disminución en el mundo occidental como sífilis. Sin lugar a dudas siguen siendo un dilema diagnóstico algunas manifestaciones clínicas como sífilis rectal en pacientes portadores de VIH. Frente a un tumor rectal en un paciente VIH se debe tener en cuenta en el diagnóstico diferencial a esta patología. Presentamos un caso de un paciente portador de VIH que consultó por tenesmo rectal asociado a rectorragia, siendo diagnosticado un tumor rectal secundario a sífilis primaria.
