Introducción. En los últimos tiempos se ha detectado un aumento en los casos de sífilis, sobre todo en el colectivo de homosexuales masculinos. En nuestro Servicio hemos detectado 11 casos de sífilis precoz en 6 meses del 2006, constatando la presencia de un brote epidémico. Material y métodos. Pacientes con sífilis temprana a los que se realizó una encuesta epidemiológica. Resultados. Cinco casos eran de sífilis secundaria y 6 casos de primaria. Todos los pacientes eran varones, con un 70 % de homosexuales. La edad media era de 38,1 años. Todos los pacientes tenían o habían tenido otras enfermedades de transmisión sexual (ETS), 6 eran positivos para el virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH+). El 90 % reconocía haber tenido contactos sexuales promiscuos en el último año, y de ellos el 50 % nunca utilizaba preservativo, no lo usaban en el sexo oral, y sólo el 25 % lo empleaba en el sexo anal. Conclusiones. Existe en el momento actual una relajación excesiva en la protección como método de prevención de ETS, lo que conlleva el incremento de casos. Nos parece importante insistir expresamente en la utilización de métodos de barrera en el sexo oral, dado que es una fuente importante de contagio
Introduction. In the last times there has been an increased incidence of syphilis especially among homosexual men. In our department we have diagnosed 11 cases of early syphilis in 6 months during 2006, thus confirming an epidemic outbreak. Material and methods. We carried out an epidemiological survey of patients with early syphilis. Results. Syphilis was secondary in five cases and primary in six. All patients were men, 70 % homosexual with a mean age of 38.1 years. All patients had or have had other sexually transmitted diseases (STD), six were HIV positive. Ninety percent of the patients admitted having had promiscuous sexual contacts in the past year, and among these, 50 % never used protection, no protection was taken in cases of oral sex and only 25 % reported protection during anal sex. Conclusions. Currently, there is excessive slackening of protection practices as a method of STD prophylaxis, which leads to an increased number of cases. We consider relevant to insist in the use of barrier methods during oral sex as it is an important source of infection

Two cases of Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis, with a previous history of drugs intake, and associated to a lymphoma and to a chronic lymphoid leukemia, are presented. The oral lesions are described and the clinical and pathological particularities of the cases are commented. The rule of the drugs and of the neoplastic diseases in the aetiology of these cases is discussed. In conclusion, we emphasize the N.E.T. as an entity of stomatological interest.

Four cases of tuberous sclerosis in two families are presented. We studied the oral manifestations of the disease and we suggest that dental pits should be taken as clinical markers for diagnosis in oligosymptomatic cases. We found that feature in all patients affected by tuberous sclerosis.
