  • Inflammatory changes in the skin and/or mucous membranes of the secondary and tertiary stages of acquired syphilis.
  • The secondary period (syphilis II) is characterized by intermittent, asymptomatic (no or only slight itching), macular exanthema, which may have a very different clinical morphology (acne-like, anular, bullous, lichenoid, pustular, etc.).
  • With increasing duration of the disease, an increasing infiltration of the still symptomless efflorescences is typical (maculo-papular exanthema - papular exanthema -s.u. syphilis acquisita).
  • The changes of the tertiary period (syphilis III) have a no longer symmetrically arranged appearance with mostly large yellow-brown or brown plaques or nodules.
