Mayo Clinic Minute: Signs and symptoms of syphilis
It's been referred to as "great pox," "great crippler" and "loues" (pronounced lou-ease) along with a number of names and references over the centuries. Syphilis has long been a global health issue affecting millions of men, women and children. After decades of decline due to treatment with penicillin, infection rates are on the rise. A recent report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows steady increases especially among women and their babies, and men who have sex with men.

The Diagnosis of Late Syphilis (USPHS, 1943)
This film describes and shows the effects of late-stage syphilis, including lesions all over the body, collapse of the bridge of the nose, and bone problems. It emphasizes that only examination of spinal fluid can confirm the condition, though symptoms including disorientation, physical impairment, and ocular problems may seem obvious. One type of syphilis affecting the cardiovascular system requires other forms of examination and diagnosis. In congenital syphilis, facial deformities are common, as is deafness. Taking a thorough medical history from patients thought to have congenital syphilis is critical, as is careful examination of mouth and nasal tissues and other aspects of physical exam. The film recommends widespread blood testing of the population to identify most cases of syphilis...

Treating Syphilis with Penicillin injection: a solution not used enough.
Syphilis is a common sexually transmitted infection. Penicillin is one of the oldest known antibiotic. The syphilis bacterium has not been shown to have developed resistance to penicillin in the past. So penicillin is very effective in the treatment of syphilis especially in pregnancy. Penicillin crosses the placenta and treats the baby in the womb better than most other known antibiotics. This ability of penicillin to cross the placenta makes it a very good treatment option for syphilis during pregnancy. One shot of the injection can cure the disease both for the pregnant lady and the baby in her womb. Penicillin in the right dosage can be given to non-pregnant women, babies and to men also, if they test positive for syphilis.

Syphilis is a bacterial infection caused by the spirochete Treponema pallidum, and is considered a sexually-transmitted disease (STD). Syphilis is readily treatable with penicillin, but if left untreated, it may cause severe damage to most bodily organs and can be life-threatening. Syphilis is known as “the great imitator”, as it mimics a large number of different conditions. Syphilis patients are at increased risk of contracting HIV.
Syphilis develops in 3 symptomatic stages: primary, secondary and tertiary, which are typically separated by periods of no symptoms. There is also a prominent latent phase in between secondary and tertiary syphilis.

01:22 - Secondary Syphilis
02:26 - Latent Syphilis
03:00 - Tertiary (late) Syphilis
03:32 - Why this is important
Symptoms of Syphilis:
The symptoms of syphilis are often mild and hard to notice. They tend to change over time and may come and go.
Symptoms of syphilis include:
- small sores (ulcers) on your penis, vagina, or around your bottom (anus) – these are usually painless and you may only have one of them - chancre
- sores in other areas, including in your mouth or on your lips, hands or bottom
- white or grey warty growths most commonly on your penis, vagina or around your anus
- a rash on the palms of your hands and soles of your feet that can sometimes spread all over your body – this is not usually itchy
- white patches in your mouth
- flu-like symptoms, such as a high temperature, headaches and tiredness
- swollen glands
- patchy hair loss on the head, beard and eyebrows
It can take 3 weeks or more for the symptoms of syphilis to appear after you're infected. Sometimes the symptoms can improve or go away completely, but if you have not been treated the infection is still in your body.
This means you can still pass it on and you're at risk of getting serious problems later on.
HOW IS SYPHILIS DIAGNOSED?
Your healthcare provider will ask about your sexual history, including whether you practice safe sex. It's important to be honest during this discussion. Your provider can help assess your risk and recommend tests for other STIs.
To test for syphilis, your provider will examine you and take a blood sample to look for signs of the infection. Your provider may remove some fluid or a small piece of skin from a syphilis sore and look at it under a microscope. The only way to know for sure if you have syphilis is by visiting your healthcare provider and getting a lab test.
HOW IS SYPHILIS TREATED?
Your healthcare provider treats syphilis with antibiotics. Antibiotics are a type of medication that treats bacterial infections. Penicillin is the most commonly used medication for syphilis. How much medication you need and how long you take it depends on your syphilis stage and symptoms.
You must finish all your antibiotics even if the sore or rash goes away. It's important to contact anyone you've had sex with within the last two years and let them know they should be tested.

It emphasizes that only examination of spinal fluid can confirm the condition, though symptoms including disorientation, physical impairment, and ocular problems may seem obvious. One type of syphilis affecting the cardiovascular system requires other forms of examination and diagnosis. In congenital syphilis, facial deformities are common, as is deafness. Taking a thorough medical history from patients thought to have congenital syphilis is critical, as is careful examination of mouth and nasal tissues and other aspects of physical exam. The film recommends widespread blood testing of the population to identify most cases of syphilis, and suggests when and how to begin treatment. It also recommends keeping current with U.S. Public Health Service publications about syphilis.

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum.[3] The signs and symptoms of syphilis vary depending in which of the four stages it presents (primary, secondary, latent, and tertiary).[1] The primary stage classically presents with a single chancre (a firm, painless, non-itchy skin ulceration usually between 1 cm and 2 cm in diameter) though there may be multiple sores.[1] In secondary syphilis, a diffuse rash occurs, which frequently involves the palms of the hands and soles of the feet.[1] There may also be sores in the mouth or vagina.[1] In latent syphilis, which can last for years, there are few or no symptoms.[1] In tertiary syphilis, there are gummas (soft, non-cancerous growths), neurological problems, or heart symptoms.[2] Syphilis has been known as "the great imitator" as it may cause symptoms similar to many other diseases.[1][2]
Syphilis is most commonly spread through sexual activity.[1] It may also be transmitted from mother to baby during pregnancy or at birth, resulting in congenital syphilis.[1][6] Other diseases caused by Treponema bacteria include yaws (T. pallidum subspecies pertenue), pinta (T. carateum), and nonvenereal endemic syphilis (T. pallidum subspecies endemicum).[2] These three diseases are not typically sexually transmitted.[7] Diagnosis is usually made by using blood tests; the bacteria can also be detected using dark field microscopy.[1] The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (U.S.) recommend all pregnant women be tested.[1]
The risk of sexual transmission of syphilis can be reduced by using a latex or polyurethane condom.[1] Syphilis can be effectively treated with antibiotics.[3] The preferred antibiotic for most cases is benzathine benzylpenicillin injected into a muscle.[3] In those who have a severe penicillin allergy, doxycycline or tetracycline may be used.[3] In those with neurosyphilis, intravenous benzylpenicillin or ceftriaxone is recommended.[3] During treatment people may develop fever, headache, and muscle pains, a reaction known as Jarisch–Herxheimer.[3]

The risk of sexual transmission of syphilis can be reduced by using a latex or polyurethane condom.[1] Syphilis can be effectively treated with antibiotics.[3] The preferred antibiotic for most cases is benzathine benzylpenicillin injected into a muscle.[3] In those who have a severe penicillin allergy, doxycycline or tetracycline may be used.[3] In those with neurosyphilis, intravenous benzylpenicillin or ceftriaxone is recommended.[3] During treatment people may develop fever, headache, and muscle pains, a reaction known as Jarisch–Herxheimer.[3]

Syphilis is a common sexually transmitted infection. Penicillin is one of the oldest known antibiotic. The syphilis bacterium has not been shown to have developed resistance to penicillin in the past. So penicillin is very effective in the treatment of syphilis especially in pregnancy. Penicillin crosses the placenta and treats the baby in the womb better than most other known antibiotics. This ability of penicillin to cross the placenta makes it a very good treatment option for syphilis during pregnancy. One shot of the injection can cure the disease both for the pregnant lady and the baby in her womb. Penicillin in the right dosage can be given to non-pregnant women, babies and to men also, if they test positive for syphilis.
