Bone invasion in secondary syphilis: case reports

J E Ollé-Goig et al. Genitourin Med. 1988 Jun.

Abstract

The affinity of treponemes for bone tissue is well known, but the incidence of bone infection in the early stages of syphilis is uncertain. Although case reports of early bone invasion are few, reviews of large numbers of patients with early syphilis indicate that the incidence is probably greater than at present believed. Two case reports are presented.
