    hair loss caused by secondary syphilis infection

    Syphilitic Alopecia, also known as Syphilitic Hair Loss or Alopecia Syphilitica, is a form of hair loss associated with secondary syphilis, a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. It typically presents as patchy hair loss on the scalp, often described as a "moth-eaten" appearance, but can also affect other body hair. This condition is a sign of systemic infection and requires antibiotic treatment to address the underlying syphilis.
