Syphilis in the practice of a cardiologist

Abstract

Every day a practicing physician faces various clinical and laboratory syndromes when supervising the patients. To make a differential diagnosis of many conditions and diseases, the physician must have not only practical experience, but also a broad outlook, including that in a number of related specialties. It is increasingly necessary to attract a multidisciplinary team in solving diagnostic puzzles. The presented clinical case considers the stages of a diagnostic search in a patient with abdominal aortic aneurysm. The found etiology of this condition has changed the patient's further management tactics.
