This is a case report of 51-year-old male patient with various symptoms including skin rashes, sensory disturbances, and non-cicatricial hair loss. Despite previous tests, the cause remained elusive until a dermatological examination revealed signs of syphilis. The patient's history, including his sexual relationships, became key in confirming the diagnosis, leading to treatment for neurosyphilis. With a rising incidence of syphilis in Denmark, this case highlights the importance of considering syphilis as a potential diagnosis across medical specialities because of the diverse and challenging clinical manifestations.
