  • Title: Case report of three consecutive lues maligna infections in an HIV-infected patient.
    Author: Sammet S, Draenert R.
    Journal: Int J STD AIDS; 2017 Apr; 28(5):523-525. PubMed ID: 28266263.
    Abstract:
    Lues maligna is a rare presentation of an infection with Treponema pallidum. Here we report three lues maligna infections with severe dermatological manifestations in a single HIV-1 infected individual. Despite the start of highly active antiretroviral therapy and a substantial increase in CD4 cell count after the first episode, he developed consecutive episodes. We assume a specific immunological predisposition to react to T. pallidum in this patient.
