 AB    Optimistic predictions about the extinction of syphilis have proven to
       be premature. During the beginning of the decade, the reported numbers
       of infectious syphilis cases were the highest in 40 years. Despite
       numerous publications about syphilis, the disease continues to challenge
       clinicians with its protean cutaneous and systemic manifestations.
       Co-infection with the human immunodeficiency virus does not appear to
       significantly influence the stage at presentation, clinical course or
       serologic positivity in most patients, but coinfected patients may be at
       risk of developing neurosyphilis and late complications even after
       administration of adequate treatment.
