A retrospective analysis of syphilis cases with a focus on otolaryngology at a university hospital
Diagnosing syphilis can be challenging unless the physician specifically suspects it. It is crucial to consider syphilis in cases of pharyngeal mucosal inflammation and neck lymphadenopathy. This study highlights the need for heightened awareness and education regarding the signs and symptoms of syphilis, particularly oropharyngeal and skin findings, to ensure timely diagnosis and treatment.
