Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks for the infectious sexually transmitted disease that presents with gum-like body lesions (gummas) in the tertiary (3rd) stage.
Option 1: pelvic inflammatory disease (P.I.D.) — This is a complication of some sexually transmitted infections like chlamydia or gonorrhea that affects the female reproductive tract; it does not feature gummas or a defined tertiary stage with gum-like lesions.
Option 2: genital herpes — Caused by herpes simplex virus, it typically presents with painful vesicles and ulcers on the genitals, not gummas, and it does not have a well-defined tertiary systemic phase with gum-like lesions.
Option 3: syphilis — A bacterial infection caused by Treponema pallidum. In its tertiary stage, it is classically associated with gummas, which are destructive granulomatous lesions that can appear on the skin, mucous membranes, or organs. This description matches the prompt precisely.
Option 4: gonorrhea — A bacterial infection caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, which primarily presents with urethral or vaginal discharge and dysuria rather than gum-like lesions in a tertiary stage; it does not have a recognized tertiary-stage presentation with gummas.
In summary, the history of gum-like lesions appearing in the tertiary stage is a hallmark feature of the disease described in option 3, aligning with the classic description of syphilis.
