An increase in number of patients with an atypical clinical picture of syphilitic primary lesions on the penis is mentioned in the literature. The figures generally agree with the findings of 87 male patients with primary syphilis examined at the Department for Skin and Venereal Diseases of the University Hospital Rotterdam-Dijkzigt. Some possible reasons for the occurrence of atypical primary syphilis are mentioned. In contrast with some other authors, in our series we could not find arguments in favour of the hypothesis that previously received local or systemic treatment increased the rate of atypical primary syphilis. |
