Abstract
We report a case of a nodular granulomatous secondary syphilis histologically resembling tuberculids in a patient with positive quantiferon test and serology for syphilis. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis led to the diagnosis. We underline the usefulness of PCR in clinically and histologically doubtful cases in order to avoid misdiagnosis and delay treatment.
