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]

I had my first dose of penicillin today. 1 per week for 3 weeks. Is it 100% curable? Have there ever been any cases in which the penicillin shots never worked?

Thank you for this video! From the introduction I now know where I got infected from. 3-weeks after contact I just know who I got it from. And I was here thinking it was an allergy and couldn't pin point what was causing the allergy. Noticed chancres on my thighs. I am going straight to take Benzathine PG injection. Thank you

I was tested positive with syphilis last july 2023. I had the symptoms since may 2023, unknown red spots on my feet sole and palm of my hands and generally feel weak. I kept asking myself since may 2023 until the day i got tested why i always feel sleepy even i slept 8 hours a day and had proper meal and nutrition. I went to our local healthcare ang got jabbed in the butt with penecillin G. The doctor told me that I have a lenient syphilis. Maybe i got the syph way back year 2018 or 2019 and the bacteria just slept. Thankfully the medicine was free.

Syphilis is a bacterial infection. HIV is a viral infection. You can get one or the other or both. Syphilis is curable with antibiotics. HIV is treatable with antiretroviral medications.

Reinfection with syphilis can occur due to exposure to an untreated sexual partner, emphasizing the importance of partner treatment and follow-up testing.
Can we use benzoyl pencillin sodium instead of benzoyl pencillin G for syphilis treatment
@MedicalCentric
7 ай бұрын
Benzathine penicillin G is the preferred and standard treatment for syphilis, not benzylpenicillin sodium. The former, administered via intramuscular injection, provides prolonged action necessary for effective treatment. Using benzylpenicillin sodium alone may not be as effective, so it's important to follow healthcare professionals' recommendations for the proper treatment of syphilis to ensure successful resolution and prevent complications. If you have concerns, consult with your healthcare provider.
is it possible that reactive Tpha will become negative after treatment?

Yes, a reactive TPHA (Treponema pallidum hemagglutination assay) can become negative after successful treatment of syphilis, especially if treated in the early stages of the infection.
