Vicente Boix1, Esperanza Merino, Sergio Reus, Diego Torrus, Joaquín Portilla.   

Abstract

We herein describe a case of secondary syphilis in a patient with HIV infection that presented with an unusually diffuse polyostotic osteitis with skull involvement. Syphilis has to be added to the differential diagnosis of extensive inflammatory bone pain in patients at risk, especially if pain worsens at night.
