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.
