To state the diagnosis of early specific pulmonary disease, it is necessary to obtain clinical and/or serological data to reject manifest secondary or early latent syphilis. The most important differential-diagnostic criterion of early syphilis of the lungs is a rapid effect of specific antisyphilis therapy with further verification of complete resolution of pulmonary lesions. Two case reports are presented.
