Les taux font foi d'un manque de contrôle de la syphilis dans la communauté et d'un manque de ressources de santé publique pour éviter une propagation qui s'est amorcée avant la pandémie de COVID-19.

An empathetic medical history taking in cases of a clinical suspicion can provide important information for adequate diagnostics.
