Abstract
In recent decades, the world has seen an increase in the number of patients suffering from syphilis and HIV infection at the same time. There is a traditional opinion that concomitant HIV infection can aggravate the clinical manifestations and course of syphilis. However, in the era of widespread use of antiretroviral therapy, most people living with HIV have a typical course of syphilis. However, with quantitative and/or qualitative HIV-associated immune dysfunction, deviations in the clinical picture of syphilitic infection from its classical patterns are possible. This is evidenced by annual publications in Russian and foreign specialized publications.
We present to your attention a photo gallery of cases of syphilis in HIV-positive patients with characteristic and atypical manifestations.
