The global incidence of primary and secondary syphilis is increasing in high-risk groups. However, pulmonary syphilis remains exceedingly rare with less than 30 cases recorded since 1967. Of these cases, none have recorded the presence of both pulmonary and renal involvement with nephrotic syndrome. Diagnosis of pulmonary syphilis remains a challenge, and there is no consensus on treatment. We report a case of a 46-year-old male with secondary pulmonary syphilis and concomitant nephrotic syndrome.
原发性和继发性梅毒在高危人群中的全球发病率正在上升。然而,肺梅毒仍然极为罕见,自1967年以来记录的病例不到30例。在这些病例中,没有一例记录有肺部和肾脏同时受累并伴有肾病综合征的情况。肺梅毒的诊断仍然是一项挑战,并且在治疗方面尚无共识。我们报告一例46岁男性继发性肺梅毒并伴有肾病综合征的病例。
