A 39-year-old man is described who has been suffering from psoriasis for many years. Because of the extensive involvement of the skin he was treated with PUVA therapy, initially with a good result. A second course of PUVA treatment was unsuccessful. Histopathological examination of the (persisting) skin lesions at this time showed clear granulomatous infiltration, in addition to psoriatic changes. Based on history, serological and dark-field examination, a secondary syphilis was diagnosed. The possible influence of PUVA therapy is discussed.Downloads
