Abstract
in English, French

Syphilis is an acquired or congenital systemic pathology, currently on the rise in Europe. The clinical manifestations of syphilis are not very specific and variable over time. In this case report, we describe two renal presentations of syphilis in patients followed in a Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) program for the prevention of HIV infection. The specificity of the renal involvement of syphilis, the diagnostic and the therapeutic management will be discussed in this article.

La syphilis est une pathologie systémique acquise ou congénitale, actuellement en recrudescence en Europe. Les manifestations cliniques de la syphilis sont souvent peu spécifiques et variables au cours du temps. Nous décrivons ici deux présentations rénales de la syphilis survenues chez des patients suivis dans un programme de Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) de prévention contre l’infection VIH. La spécificité de l’atteinte rénale de la syphilis, la mise au point diagnostique et la prise en charge thérapeutique seront discutées dans cet article.
