Lost a patch, syphilis: Syphilis, also known as the great imitator, has not been eradicated and physicians should maintain a high level of diagnostic suspicion.1 In addition to the usual forms of presentation, very rare cutaneous manifestations can appear and sometimes make diagnosis difficult. Syphilitic alopecia (SA) is an unusual manifestation of syphilis infection we should be familiar with, given the progressive. The answer is yes, rule it out.
