1. Syphilis, NIAID Fact Sheet Fact sheet from the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. http://www.niaid.nih.gov/factsheets/stdsyph.htm

November 2002 Syphilis WHAT IS SYPHILIS? Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection (STI), once responsible for devastating epidemics. It is caused by a bacterium called Treponema pallidum . The rate of primary and secondary syphilis in the United States declined by 89.2 percent from 1990 to 2000. The number of cases rose, however, from 5,979 in 2000 to 6,103 in 2001. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported in November 2002 that this was the first increase since 1990. Of increasing concern is the fact that syphilis increases by 3- to 5-fold the risk of transmitting and acquiring HIV (human immunodeficiency virus), the virus that causes AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). HOW IS SYPHILIS TRANSMITTED? The syphilis bacterium is very fragile, and the infection is almost always transmitted by sexual contact with an infected person. The bacterium spreads from the initial ulcer (sore) of an infected person to the skin or mucous membranes (linings) of the genital area, mouth, or anus of an uninfected sexual partner. It also can pass through broken skin on other parts of the body. In addition, a pregnant woman with syphilis can pass

Classification Treponema pallidum , a spirochetal bacterium. Description This is a sexually transmitted disease that has three stages: Primary syphilis symptoms: painless lesions (chancre) at the site of infection (usually penis, vulva, or vagina). These sores heal in about a month or less. Secondary syphilis symptoms: rash (condyloma lata, lymphadenopathy), fever. Late syphilis: lesions on internal organs, expecially the brain and heart. There are sometimes false positive results on syphilis tests for HIV+. Warnings: CATIE lab tests for syphilis may not be accurate standard anti-syphilis therapy may not be effective chronic infection with T. pallidum

How common is syphilis? How do people get syphilis? ... Where can I get more information? Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum . It has often been called “the great imitator” because so many of the signs and symptoms are indistinguishable from those of other diseases. Syphilis is passed from person to person through direct contact with a syphilis sore. Sores occur mainly on the external genitals, vagina, anus, or in the rectum. Sores also can occur on the lips and in the mouth. Transmission of the organism occurs during vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Pregnant women with the disease can pass it to the babies they are carrying. Syphilis cannot be spread through contact with toilet seats, doorknobs, swimming pools, hot tubs, bathtubs, shared clothing, or eating utensils. Many people infected with syphilis do not have any symptoms for years, yet remain at risk for late complications if they are not treated. Although transmission appears to occur from persons with sores who are in the primary or secondary stage, many of these sores are unrecognized. Thus, most transmission is from persons who are unaware of their infection.

5. Origins Of Syphilis New studies by paleopathologists Bruce and Christine Rothschild favor a New World origin. http://www.archaeology.org/9701/newsbriefs/syphilis.html

Your browser does not support javascript Origins of Syphilis Volume 50 Number 1, January/February 1997 by Mark Rose [LARGER IMAGE, 33K] Debate about the origins of syphilis has continued for nearly 500 years, ever since early sixteenth-century Europeans blamed each other, referring to it variously as the Venetian, Naples, or French disease. One hypothesis assumes a New World origin, and holds that sailors who accompanied Columbus and other explorers brought the disease back to Europe. Another explanation is that syphilis was always present in the Old World but was not identified as a separate disease from leprosy before about A.D. 1500. A third possibility is that syphilis developed in both hemispheres from the related diseases bejel and yaws. New studies by paleopathologists Bruce and Christine Rothschild favor a New World origin. Ancient and medieval sources have long been cited as evidence for syphilis in Europe before Columbus, but none of the descriptions by Greek and Roman authors are specific enough to be certain. Returning crusaders brought "Saracen ointment" containing mercury for treating "lepers," an appropriate medication for syphilis but not for leprosy. Thirteenth- and fourteenth-century A.D. references to "venereal leprosy" may also indicate syphilis because leprosy is not sexually transmitted. But the first unambiguous descriptions of syphilis begin around 1500. These may either reflect growing medical knowledge and ability to differentiate syphilis from other diseases or signal its arrival from the New World.

Syphilis Syphilis is a sexually transmitted bacterial infection. Syphilis is most often passed from person to person through sexual contact. It can also be passed from an infected pregnant woman to her unborn child. Syphilis is treatable with antibiotics. Without treatment, syphilis moves through the body in stages, damaging many organs over time. Infected persons are highly infectious during the early stages. To prevent syphilis: 1) do not have sex with persons who have genital sores; 2) use condoms with new sex partners; 2) if you think you are infected, avoid sexual contact and see a health-care provider; 3) tell all sexual contacts to see a health-care provider. All pregnant women should receive a prenatal blood test for syphilis. What is syphilis? Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) that progresses in stages and can damage many parts of the body. What is the infectious agent that causes syphilis? Syphilis is caused by Treponema pallidum , a spiral-shaped bacterium called a spirochete.

Yet in addition to the medical and racist parallels, the PHS offered the same morally bankrupt defense offered at the Nuremberg trials: they claimed they were just carrying out orders, mere cogs in the wheel of the PHS bureaucracy, exempt from personal responsibility. In 1990, a survey found that 10 percent of African Americans believed that the U.S. government created AIDS as a plot to exterminate blacks, and another 20 percent could not rule out the possibility that this might be true. As preposterous and paranoid as this may sound, at one time the Tuskegee experiment must have seemed equally farfetched. Who could imagine the government, all the way up to the Surgeon General of the United States, deliberately allowing a group of its citizens to die from a terrible disease for the sake of an ill-conceived experiment? In light of this and many other shameful episodes in our history, African Americans' widespread mistrust of the government and white society in general should not be a surprise to anyone.

Depression-era U.S. poster advocating early syphilis treatment Syphilis (historically called lues ) is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) that is caused by a spirochaete bacterium Treponema pallidum . Syphilis has many alternate names, such as: Miss Siff, the Pox, and has been given many national attributions, e.g. the French disease or the English disease. The route of transmission for syphilis is almost invariably by sexual contact; however, there are examples of direct contact infections (see yaws ) and of congenital syphilis (transmission from mother to child in utero The signs and symptoms of syphilis are myriad; before the advent of serological testing , diagnosis was more difficult and the disease was dubbed the "Great-Imitator" because it was so often confused with other diseases. In the United States, about 36,000 cases of syphilis are reported each year, and the actual number is presumed to be higher. About three-fifths of the reported cases occur in men. Syphilis can be treated with penicillin or other antibiotics . Statistically, treatment with a course of pills is dramatically less effective than other treatments, because patients tend not to complete the course. The oldest, and still most effective, method is to inject benzathine penicillin into each buttock (the

(Redirected from Tuskegee experiment The Tuskegee Syphilis Study ) was a clinical study , conducted around Tuskegee, Alabama , where 400 poor, mostly illiterate African American sharecroppers became part of a study on the treatment and natural history of syphilis without due care to its subjects. This notorious study led to major changes in how patients are protected in clinical studies. Individuals enrolled in the Tuskegee Syphilis Study did not give informed consent and were not informed of their diagnosis; instead they were told they had "bad blood" and could receive free treatment. Critically, by 1947 penicillin had become standard treatment for syphilis. Prior to this discovery syphilis frequently led to a chronic, painful and fatal multisystem disease. Rather than treat all syphilitic subjects with penicillin and close the study, the Tuskegee scientists withheld penicillin or information about penicillin purely to continue to study how the disease spreads and kills. The study continued until , when a leak to the press rather than any ethical or moral consideration resulted in its termination. The Tuskegee Syphilis Study is often cited as one of the greatest ethical breaches of trust between physician and patients in the setting of a clinical study in the United States. The Tuskegee Syphilis Study led to the
