Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by Treponema pallidum. The disease can manifest clinically through 3 different stages: primary, secondary, and tertiary. This report describes an uncommon case of secondary syphilis in a 16-year-old boy who showed only oral clinical manifestations. The infection was diagnosed through serologic tests. Treatment with intramuscular benzathine penicillin G led to complete remission of the oral lesions 3 weeks after initiation of treatment. The current case demonstrates the importance of laboratory tests in establishing an accurate diagnosis of syphilis and thereby avoiding unnecessary biopsies.
梅毒是一种由梅毒螺旋体引起的性传播感染。该疾病可通过三个不同阶段在临床上表现出来：一期、二期和三期。本报告描述了一例16岁男孩的罕见二期梅毒病例，该男孩仅表现出口腔临床表现。通过血清学检测确诊了感染。肌肉注射苄星青霉素G治疗后3周，口腔病变完全缓解。本例表明实验室检测在准确诊断梅毒从而避免不必要的活检方面的重要性。
