ABSTRACT
We report the case of a 22-year-old heterosexual man presenting with a pruritic rash to the sexual health clinic. He was initially suspected of having a fungal rash by his general practitioner (GP) and treated with antifungals unsuccessfully. Subsequent testing revealed an active infection with Treponema pallidum. This was complicated by the concurrent fungal infection of the penile skin resulting in multiple lesions, requiring both antibiotic and antifungal treatment. With this case report, we hope to raise awareness amongst clinicians in non-traditional settings of the uncommon ways in which syphilis can present and to always consider it as a differential diagnosis, particularly in less likely populations.
