Syphilis was believed to be the most common cause of Charcot arthropathy a century back, but now, it is one of the rare causes which get missed in the routine evaluation. We present a rare case of syphilitic Charcot joint in a middle aged, paraplegic, wheel-chaired bound male, who presented with a history of recurrent painless joint swelling. He underwent multiple surgeries on the left elbow to deal with his soft tissues and bony infections along with multiple courses of systemic high end antibiotics including anti-tubercular drugs without much benefit. He was even planned for midarm amputation. Timely opinion of dermatologist and correct interpretation of serological tests clinched the diagnosis. This case highlights a high index of suspicion and correct interpretation of serological test of syphilis is essential to diagnose tertiary syphilis. Timely management with injection benzathine penicllin resulted in life time gratifying outcome.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/ijstd.ijstd_21_20","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,5]],"date-time":"2023-12-05T03:50:57Z","timestamp":1701748257000},"page":"175-177","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["A rare case of syphilitic Charcot joint involving left elbow"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"44","author":[{"given":"Gautam Kumar","family":"Singh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anil","family":"Mishra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nagendra S","family":"Beniwal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anwita","family":"Sinha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gurdarsh Singh","family":"Madan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R3-18-20240831","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"562","DOI":"10.5435\/00124635-200909000-00003","article-title":"Charcot neuroarthropathy of the foot and ankle","volume":"17","author":"van der Ven","year":"2009","journal-title":"J Am Acad Orthop Surg"},{"key":"R4-18-20240831","first-page":"372","article-title":"William Musgrave's de arthritide symptomatica (1703): His description of neuropathic arthritis","volume":"37","author":"Kelly","year":"1963","journal-title":"Bull Hist Med"},{"key":"R5-18-20240831","first-page":"161","article-title":"Sur quelaques arthropathies qui paraissent depender d'une lesion du cerveau ou de la moele epiniere","volume":"1","author":"Charcot","year":"1868","journal-title":"Arch Des Physiol Norm Pathol"},{"key":"R6-18-20240831","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"307","DOI":"10.1001\/archinte.1936.00170060069004","article-title":"Neuritic manifestations in diabetes mellitus","volume":"56","author":"Jordan","year":"1936","journal-title":"Arch Intern Med"},{"key":"R7-18-20240831","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"708","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jdiacomp.2018.04.010","article-title":"A review of bone metabolism and developments in medical treatment of the diabetic Charcot foot","volume":"32","author":"Jansen","year":"2018","journal-title":"J Diabetes Complications"},{"key":"R8-18-20240831","first-page":"116","article-title":"Syphilis of bones","volume":"35","author":"King","year":"1959","journal-title":"Br J Vener Dis"},{"key":"R9-18-20240831","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3","DOI":"10.4103\/0019-5154.92666","article-title":"VDRL test and its interpretation","volume":"57","author":"Nayak","year":"2012","journal-title":"Indian J Dermatol"}],"container-title":["Indian Journal of Sexually Transmitted Diseases and AIDS"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/ijstd.IJSTD_21_20","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,26]],"date-time":"2026-08-26T16:52:47Z","timestamp":1787763167000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/ijstd.IJSTD_21_20"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023,7]]},"references-count":7,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2023]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4103\/ijstd.ijstd_21_20","relation":{},"ISSN":["2589-0557"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2589-0557","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2023,7]]}}}
