Samenvatting
A 53-year-old woman presented with an isolated eczema and redness of the left nipple. Skin biopsies revealed a granulomatous dermatitis with no signs of Paget's disease. Three weeks afterwards she was admitted with a disseminated rash on her abdomen. Biopsies of these lesions revealed a perivascular, granulomatous dermatitis with spirally shaped microorganisms. The syphilis serology tests TPPA (Treponema Pallidum Particle Agglutination Assay) en FTA (Fluorescent Treponemal antibody-absorbed test) were positive. Re-evaluation of the first skin biopsy samples also showed the presence of spirochetes. The patient was treated with a third generation cephalosporin (ceftriaxon). After three weeks the rash disappeared and the patient continues to do well.
