Abstract

Syphilitic brain gummas are extremely rare nowadays, and few have been reported among AIDS patients. We report the case of an AIDS patient who had both tuberculosis and brain syphilitic gumma. This unexpected combination resulted in management that did not include treatment for the syphilis, which was diagnosed only post-mortem.
