Erythematous scaly plaques and nodules on scalp
We describe a 45-year-old man who presented with erythematous scaly plaques and nodules on his scalp. In previously reported cases, there were only descriptions of nodules as well as tumors. However, in our case, the patient presented with plaques and nodules on his scalp that quickly resolved with treatment for syphilis. It is important to recognize and treat syphilis at an early stage.PMID:38478648 | DOI:10.5070/D329562412 (Source: Dermatol Online J)

Australian consensus statement on doxycycline post-exposure prophylaxis (doxy-PEP) for the prevention of syphilis, chlamydia and gonorrhoea among gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men
Med J Aust. 2024 Mar 13. doi: 10.5694/mja2.52258. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Doxycycline post-exposure prophylaxis (doxy-PEP) involves consuming 200 mg of doxycycline up to 72 hours after a condomless sex act to reduce the risk of bacterial sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Recent clinical trials of doxy-PEP have demonstrated significant reductions in syphilis, chlamydia and, to a lesser degree, gonorrhoea among gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM). There is a high level of interest in doxy-PEP in the GBMSM community and, in response, the Australasian Society for HIV, Viral Hepat...

Trends in vasectomy and sexually transmitted diseases in Chile: findings from robust national databases
Cad Saude Publica. 2024 Mar 11;40(3):e00129323. doi: 10.1590/0102-311XEN129323. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTA controversy about the increase or decline of vasectomy is emerging; however, the evidence is still scarce in Latin America. This ecological study analyzed the vasectomy and sexual transmitted diseases (STD) trends over a period of 10 years in Chile and determined if there is any relationship between them. We conducted a mixed ecological study using secondary and representative data on the number of vasectomies and STD cases from 2008 to 2017. Vasectomy rates were calculated for age-specific groups of men aged 20-59 ye...

Secondary syphilis presenting as leukocytoclastic vasculitis in a 61-year-old man
We report a case of secondary syphilis presenting with an acute, rapidly progressive purpuric eruption mimicking leukocytoclastic vasculitis. A 61-year-old man presented with a 6-day history of nonpruritic rash on his chest and lower extremities associated with fatigue, sore throat, and night sweats. Examination revealed purpuric papules, extending from the dorsal feet to the hips; mucosal surfaces were not involved. A diagnosis of cutaneous small-vessel vasculitis was favored with possible triggers of IgA vasculitis. Initial work-up showed acute kidney injury and microscopic hematuria. Renal biopsy showed IgA nephropathy ...
