Abstract：
Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by Treponema pallidum. The primary stage of the disease manifests as a chancre. Balanoposthitis as a presenting feature of primary syphilis is a very rare presentation. A 26-year-old male presented with asymptomatic erythematous plaques involving the glans and prepuce after unprotected intercourse with a known female. Routine investigations, serology, and dark field examination were normal. Fontana-Masson stain revealed spirochetes and a diagnosis of syphilitic balanitis of Follmann was entertained. This rare presentation accounts for only 0.3%-0.5% of cases of primary syphilis and hence is highlighted in this case report.
摘要：
梅毒是由梅毒螺旋体引起的性传播感染。疾病的初级阶段表现为下颚。作为原发性梅毒的表现特征的龟头包虫病是非常罕见的表现。一名26岁的男性在与已知女性无保护的性交后出现无症状的红斑，涉及龟头和包皮。常规调查,血清学,暗视野检查正常。Fontana-Masson染色显示螺旋体，并诊断为Follmann的梅毒龟头炎。这种罕见的表现仅占原发性梅毒病例的0.3％-0.5％，因此在此病例报告中得到了强调。
