Respiratory syphilis is a rare manifestation of syphilis, a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. It typically occurs in the context of secondary or tertiary syphilis and can involve the lungs or respiratory system, leading to symptoms such as cough, chest pain, and respiratory distress. Diagnosis may be challenging due to the nonspecific nature of respiratory symptoms, and treatment usually involves antibiotic therapy, primarily with penicillin. Prompt recognition and treatment are essential to prevent complications and further transmission.
