Abstract

A patient with a two-year history of psoriasis showed a widespread eruption that was clinically and histologically similar to psoriasis. Results of blood tests revealed syphilitic infection, appearing to be secondary syphilis. The flare-up of guttate psoriasis was considered to represent a Koebner phenomenon due to secondary syphilis.
