Primary syphilis of the fingers

Z Starzycki. Br J Vener Dis. 1983 Jun.

Abstract

Six patients were seen with primary syphilitic chancres on their fingers between 1965 and 1980. Of these, two had bipolar chancres on their fingers and genitals resulting from sexual foreplay. Because syphilis is rarely suspected in such cases diagnostic errors are common.
