title: [An unusual variant of secondary recurrent syphilis in an HIV-infected patient].
abstract: Asymptomatic syphilis eventually manifesting with symptoms of the secondary disease was observed in a male with HIV-infection. Large focuses of alopecia reported in this male are suggested as a clinical marker of HIV-infection. A defective antibody response to T. pallidum in HIV-infection has been confirmed. Levomycetin (0.5 g 4 times a day in 5-20-day courses at two-week intervals) proved highly effective as compared to penicillin, erythromycin and tetracycline administration due to poor tolerance of the above antibiotics.
