International audience. Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) related to Treponema pallidum. Secondary syphilis is the blood-borne systemic spread of Treponema. . We report the case of secondary syphilis in a patient without risk of STIs factor. The clinical picture began with a genital affection followed by oral erosions and ulcers and an anterior and then posterior uveitis. Serology established the diagnosis and intravenous penicillin G treatment allowed for healing. . Called the "great pretender" because of its clinical polymorphism, secondary syphilis can lead to formidable neurological and ophthalmological complications. Serological diagnosis is based on the use of treponemal and a nontreponemal tests. Penicillin G remains the treatment of choice and must be adapted according to the clinical damage.
