The chancre resolved after 10 days, and symmetric round and annular 1 cm violaceous plaques with central scale appeared 5 months later on the palms and soles typical of secondary syphilis. Two months later he developed firm eroded plaqueson the inner aspect of the lips and gingiva. Treponema pallidum was identified from the oral lesions by polymerase chain reaction. A few months later his daughter was evaluated for a primary lesion on her lip. | ||||

| Body Site: | foot / sole | Age: | 13 years | ||
| Contributor: | Raja Mouallem, MD | ||||
| Description: | symmetric hyperpigmented scaly minimally elevated papules and plaques | ||||
| Comments: | This 13-year-old girl was evaluated for a rash of 3 weeks duration on her face, hands, and feet. She also had smooth topped hyperpigmented papules on the labia majora. Other than the skin rash her physical examination was normal. Screening for sexually transmitted diseases revealed posite HIV titers; a positive RPR with a titer of 1/128, a reactive Treponema pallidum microhemagglutination assay, a positive Human immunodeficiency test, and positive pregnancy test. This patient demonstrates the importance of screening for multiple sexually transmitted diseases in this setting. | ||||
