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]] <ref name="pmid4175712">{{cite journal| author=Biro L, Hill AC, Kuflik EG| title=Secondary syphilis with unusual clinical and laboratory findings. | journal=JAMA | year= 1968 | volume= 206 | issue= 4 | pages= 889-91 | pmid=4175712 | doi= | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=4175712  }} </ref><ref name="pmid16392072">{{cite journal| author=David G, Perpoint T, Boibieux A, Pialat JB, Salord H, Devouassoux M et al.| title=Secondary pulmonary syphilis: report of a likely case and literature review. | journal=Clin Infect Dis | year= 2006 | volume= 42 | issue= 3 | pages= e11-5 | pmid=16392072 | doi=10.1086/499104 | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=16392072  }} </ref><ref name="pmid: PMC3056368">{{cite journal| author=Burger HG, Baker HW, Buckler HM, Healy DL, Kovacs GT| title=Advances in reproductive medicine: Australian contributions. | journal=Aust N Z J Med | year= 1988 | volume= 18 | issue= 3 | pages= 263-77 | pmid=: PMC3056368 | doi= | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=3056368  }} </ref><ref name="pmid6613117">{{cite journal| author=Coleman DL, McPhee SJ, Ross TF, Naughton JL| title=Secondary syphilis with pulmonary involvement. | journal=West J Med | year= 1983 | volume= 138 | issue= 6 | pages= 875-8 | pmid=6613117 | doi= | pmc=1010855 | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=6613117  }} </ref><ref name="pmid4074225">{{cite journal| author=Geer LL, Warshauer DM, Delany DJ| title=Pulmonary nodule in secondary syphilis. | journal=Australas Radiol | year= 1985 | volume= 29 | issue= 3 | pages= 240-2 | pmid=4074225 | doi= | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=4074225  }} </ref>

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]
