  • Title: Secondary syphilis presenting with aortitis and coronary ostial occlusion.
    Author: Chadwick JA, MacNab A, Sarma J, Ray S, Kadir I, Muldoon EG.
    Journal: Sex Transm Infect; 2016 Mar; 92(2):108-9. PubMed ID: 26670911.
    Abstract:
    Aortitis is an established manifestation of tertiary syphilis. We report a rare case of aortitis with ostial occlusion and left ventricular failure in secondary syphilis. Her management required a true multidisciplinary approach from multiple specialities due to complications of concomitant psychosis and a history of anaphylaxis to penicillin. This case illustrates the complexities of diagnosing and managing a rare presentation of this increasingly prevalent infection.
