Abstract

Mucous patches are multiple symptomatic white-to-yellow patches of elsewhere in oral cavity, accounting for 8% of patients with secondary syphilis, and are highly infectious. Misdiagnosis might lead to delay of treatment. We, thereby, report a 30-year-old Thai non-HIV infected homosexual male presented with sore throat and odynophagia for 10 days. Being allergic to benzathine penicillin G, he was given doxycycline 200 mg per day for 14 days with improvement.
