| Abstract | Syphilis and leprosy have cutaneous manifestations with great
lesional polymorphism with subsequent difficult differential
diagnosis. Both have additional tests that, in certain situations,
are inconclusive, making it difficult to confirm the clinical
diagnosis. In medical literature there are several clinical cases
reported in which patients with syphilis were erroneously
diagnosed and treated as having leprosy. Physicians need to
maintain a high index of suspicion for the diagnosis of syphilis. | pt_BR |
