title: [Humeral lytic lesions and circulating anticoagulant in secondary syphilis (author's transl)].
abstract: A case of secondary syphilis revealed by rheumatic complaints is described. Arthralgia and myalgia were associated with lytic lesions and periostitis of both humerus. A more diffuse skeletal involvement was detected by bone scanning. A genital ulceration 4 months before, diffuse lymphadenopathy and a strongly positive serological reaction ascertain the diagnosis. The association of a circulating anticoagulant is discussed. All manifestations cleared with penicilline treatment.
