Overview
Chest x ray is not routinely used to detect thoracic manifestations of Syphilis. However, thoracic aortic aneurysms associated with Syphilis may be detected incidentally as a widening of the aortic or mediastinal silhouettes on PA and lateral chest X ray. This may prompt the clinician to order further imaging studies for confirmation. On chest x-ray, secondary pulmonary syphilis may be characterized by the bilateral infiltrates, pleural effusion, subpleural nodules, and lymphadenopathy [1][2][3][4][5]
X ray
Chest x ray is not routinely used to detect thoracic manifestations of Syphilis. However, thoracic aortic aneurysms associated with Syphilis may be detected incidentally as a widening of the aortic or mediastinal silhouettes on PA and lateral chest x ray. It remains difficult to assess the exact size accurately and further imaging studies are required to do so. [6][7]
Chest x ray
On chest x-ray, secondary pulmonary syphilis may be characterized by the following:[1][2][3][4][5]
- Bilateral infiltrates
- Pleural effusion
- Subpleural nodules
- Lymphadenopathy
