Plaques en prairie fauchée
2021
Abstract We report a clinical picture of a mowed meadow pattern of the tongue in a 29-year-old sexually active man who has sex with men. The painful lesions also called "Plaques en prairie fauchee", occur in the context of the discovery of a postive HIV serology. The diagnosis of secondary syphilis was confirmed by a positive syphilis serology (nontreponemal RPR test title of 64) and a positive Treponema pallidum PCR, amplifying the tpp47 gene, on a tongue swab. The lesions completely resolve with a penicillin treatment.
