  • Title: Secondary syphilis presenting as tonsillitis in three patients.
    Author: Hamlyn E, Marriott D, Gallagher RM.
    Journal: J Laryngol Otol; 2006 Jul; 120(7):602-4. PubMed ID: 16556350.
    Abstract:
    We describe three homosexual men presenting to the ear, nose and throat clinic with severe tonsillitis. All were subsequently diagnosed with secondary syphilis of the tonsil. Syphilis should be considered as a diagnosis in high risk patients presenting with tonsillar lesions, even in the absence of other classical features of the disease.
