Comments

This 45-year-old house maid suffered from multiple moist grayish papules on the vulva for a month. Dark field microscopy showed spirochetes consistent with Treponema pallidum and her shypilis serology (VDRL) was reactive with a titer of 1:256. She was treated with benzathine penicillin 2.4 million units intramuscularly in each buttocks. All cutaneous lesions had resolved 3 weeks later when she returned for reevaluation.
