ABSTRACT

Syphilis and the human immunodeficiency virus are infectious diseases, which have clinical, epidemiological, social and historical similarities. Both cause important morbidity and mortality and they may present with variable clinical features. These pathologies can affect all organ systems. We report a case of syphilis in an HIV infection and a brief review of the literature.
