Article Synopsis
- Syphilitic balanitis, also known as Follmann balanitis, is a rare condition associated with primary syphilis, initially described by Eugene Follmann.
- It involves inflammation of the glans and may present with a primary chancre and swollen lymph nodes in the groin, but can easily be confused with other types of balanitis.
- A case of Follmann balanitis was diagnosed in a patient with secondary syphilis, confirmed through clinical signs, positive blood tests for syphilis, and effective treatment with benzathine penicillin.
