DISCUSSIONOur case report describes apparent aortitis in a recently acquired case of syphilis in a patient coinfected with HIV. The resolution of the aortitis within 3 months of effective treatment (demonstrated by the 4-fold decline in RPR titer) suggests that the aortitis was early. In secondary syphilis, inflammation has been previously described in association with hepatitis, uveitis, meningitis, and 2 cases of aortitis. 2, 3 Aortitis, if left untreated, could result in aortic root dilation and aortic insufficiency.
