“…In view of the increasing number of reports to this effect, it is clear that the course of syphilis is changing, in several aspects, in the presence of HIV infection (17)(18)(19)(20)(21). The prevalence of joint infection is increasing, perhaps because syphilitic chancres facilitate the trans-miSSIOn of HIV (4).…”

There are increasing reports of unusual clinical features and atypical courses of syphilis in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Recently, we had the opportunity to study an HIV-positive female patient with strong manifestations of secondary syphilis. The case is discussed together with the implications of secondary syphilis in her concomitant ocular affliction. Moreover, we comment on the clinico-therapeutic controversies brought about by the association of infection with Treponema pallidum and HIV.

“…La presencia de enfermedades de transmisión sexual aumenta el riesgo de transmisión y adquisición de la infección por VIH como también presenta una variedad de otras características. Han sido descriptas (3,4), manifestaciones atípicas, incluyendo aquellas presentaciones fulminantes de progresión rápida, hallazgos serológicos irregulares y fallos en las dosis convencionales de penicilina. La inmunosupresión inducida por la infección por VIH puede causar ocasionalmente una variedad de reacciones inmunes alteradas, inhabilidad para responder en forma normal al estímulo de nuevos antígenos y puede causar que muchas pruebas de proyección para la sífilis sean inadecuadas para detectar una infección activa (5).…”

Secundarismo sifilítico y el resultado del test de VIH no retirado por el mismo paciente, un problema de salud pública: A propósito de un caso

La sífilis es una enfermedad de transmisión sexual con mayor incidencia y prevalencia mundial desde la aparición de la infección por el Virus de la Inmundeficiencia Humana Adquirida. La presentación de este caso clínico tiene por objeto 1-Describir las lesiones de un secundarismo sifilítico en una paciente adolescente con presunción de estar infectada por el VIH. 2-Señalar la evidencia que muchos pacientes con pruebas positivas para sífilis inician tratamiento pero no retiran los resultados de la serología para VIH (como en este caso), contribuyendo así a la expansión del VIH.

We have examined various autoimmunity parameters in AIDS with special emphasis on the expression of pemphigus and bullous pemphigoid antibodies. Sera from healthy seropositive individuals without syphilis (CS-, n = 17), seropositive individuals with syphilis (cs+, n = 11), and patients with AIDS (n = 6) were studied and compared with normal controls (n = 30); autoimmunity parameters related to dermatology were evaluated. Indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) for pemphigus and pemphigoid antibodies, antinuclear antibodies (ANA), anti-DNA antibodies, antismooth muscle antibodies (ASMA) antimitochondrial antibodies (AMA), and antithyroid antibodies (ATA) was carried out and findings were graded with a cumulative index (CI) for each patient group. Pemphigus and bullous pemphigoid-like antibodies (IgG, PV + BP) were detected in 33% of the AIDS patients. Statistically increased CI (P less than 0.01) was found in the CS- group compared with the CS+ group and in the AIDS group compared with CS- (P less than 0.01).
