The clinical presentation of venereal syphilis is varied and complex, often mimicking many other diseases. This disease is divided into stages: incubating, primary, secondary, early latent, latent, and tertiary. During secondary syphilis, the patient is ill and seeks medical attention. Systemic symptoms such as fever, weight loss, malaise, and loss of appetite are present in approximately one-half of the patients. The skin is the organ most commonly affected in secondary syphilis, with patients exhibiting a widespread rash.
