RESUMO
Las manifestaciones bucales del secundarismo sifilítico, son una de las formas clínicas que ermiten el diagnóstico presuntivo de la enfermedad. Estas lesiones son patognomónicas, pero no se han encontrado estudios que relacionen estas lesiones con su distribución y localización en la mucosa bucal. El objetivo de este estudio, es el de distinguir las lesiones bucales observadas, relacionándolas con las adenopatías y los niveles serológicos de V.D.R.L.

The nonvenereal treponematoses--yaws, endemic syphilis, and pinta--constitute a major health concern for many third world countries. These diseases are caused by an organism that is morphologically and antigenically identical to the causative agent of venereal syphilis, Treponema pallidum. Nonvenereal treponematoses differ significantly in their modes of transmission, epidemiology, and clinical presentation from venereal syphilis. Like venereal syphilis, they have a chronic relapsing course and have prominent cutaneous manifestations. Recently, several cases of imported yaws and endemic syphilis have been described in Europe. With the escalating U.S. military presence in many remote areas of the world and ever-increasing world-wide travel, the diagnosis of the nonvenereal treponematoses must be considered in appropriate clinical and historical situations.
