Alopecia syphilitica: report of two cases in Geneva

A Friedli et al. Dermatology. 2001.

Abstract

Two patients with alopecia syphilitica are presented. Moth-eaten alopecia is the most typical look of secondary syphilis on the scalp. With the decrease in syphilis cases in western countries, this rarer clinical manifestation tends to be misdiagnosed.
