Condylomata Lata is a medical condition that is characterized by the presence of large, flat, broad, whitish, wart-like lesions on the skin. These lesions are typically found in the moist areas of the body, such as the groin or anal region. Condylomata Lata is a symptom of secondary syphilis, a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum.
Symptoms[edit]
The primary symptom of Condylomata Lata is the presence of the characteristic lesions. These lesions are usually painless, but they may be accompanied by other symptoms of secondary syphilis, such as fever, fatigue, and weight loss.
