Abstract
In immunocompromised conditions, latent syphilitic infection can lead to secondary syphilis. We present here a case of neurosyphilis (syphilitic meningomyelitis) in a kidney transplant recipient. Atypical presentation, the typical maculopapular rash, and a serological test all pointed to secondary syphilis. The scenario illustrates a crucial point: infections can go undetected, whereas a patient is on immunosuppressive therapy.
