Nail changes in secondary syphilis: A report of three cases and review of literature

Nail involvement in syphilis, particularly the onychoscopic findings, has been under-reported. Varying terminologies have been used over the years as per the literature review. We propose that nail syphilis is best classified based on the site of involvement within the nail unit. Onychoscopy aids the detection of changes which may be missed on clinical examination.

Abstract

Nail involvement in syphilis, particularly the onychoscopic findings, has been under-reported. Varying terminologies have been used over the years as per the literature review. We propose that nail syphilis is best classified based on the site of involvement within the nail unit. Onychoscopy aids the detection of changes which may be missed on clinical examination.
