ABSTRACT
Acquired syphilis rarely manifest itself in the skeleton, causing localised osteoscopic pain, commonly in the abscence of general systemic complaints. Diagnosis of bone syphilis can easily be made by clinical history, course of the disease, roentgeno-graphic findings, serological tests, therapeutic test of antiluetic treatment and, most reliably, by biopsy. We experienced a patient with syphilitic osteomyelitis of tbe tibia who had a history of sexual contact and the diagnosis was confirmed by serological tests and biopsy.
