KidsHealth Parents Infections Sexually Transmitted Diseases Syphilis is an infection that is usually acquired through sexual contact with another infected person. Syphilis can be frightening because if it goes untreated, it can lead to serious health problems and increase a person's risk for HIV , the human immunodeficiency virus, which causes AIDS. A syphilis infection can be treated at the early stages with antibiotics, and it can be prevented by avoiding any sexual contact with an infected person or a person with an unknown health history. It's important to know the symptoms of syphilis so that if you suspect that you or your child has it, you can be diagnosed and treated right away. If you're pregnant, it's important to get screened for syphilis and treated if you have it so that you don't pass the infection on to your baby. If your teen is sexually active, it's important to explain the importance of avoiding any behavior like unprotected sex that might put your child at risk for syphilis or other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).

Syphilis is caused by the bacteria T. pallidum, a spiral shaped organism that moves throughout the body by splitting in two about once every day. The disease begins with a chancre which normally forms on the genital area. If untreated, this chancre will heal but the disease will progress possibly causing many complications- and in some instances death. Syphilis can now be effectively treated with penicillin or other antibiotics (for those allergic to penicillin). The widespread use of antibiotics has reduced the prevalence of syphilis significantly. What are the symptoms of syphilis? Symptoms of syphilis undergo several stages of development. Throughout these stages, the symptoms felt by the patient vary. The Primary Stage This first stage of syphilis is characterized by a lesion (or chancre) which normally forms around the genital region. In about half of the cases reported the lesion has a raised, firm red border. The chancre is generally a dark pink color and does not bleed easily. It must be stressed that the appearance of this chancre can vary greatly. Furthermore, it is not necessarily a single lesion; multiple lesions may exist but are less common. If the lesion is untreated, it may heal on its own. However, without the attention of a physician the disease will progress.

KidsHealth Teens Sexual Health What Is It? Syphilis (pronounced: siff -ill-iss) is a sexually transmitted disease caused by a bacteria that is known as a spirochete (through a microscope, it looks like a corkscrew or spiral) It is extremely small and can live almost anywhere in the body. The spirochetes that cause syphilis can be passed from one person to another through direct contact with a syphilis sore during sexual intercourse (vaginal, anal, or oral sex). The infection can also be passed from a mother to her baby during pregnancy. You cannot catch syphilis from a towel, doorknob, or toilet seat. In the early 1980's there was a decrease in the number of people that were infected with syphilis. However, more recently there has been a steady increase in reported cases of syphilis, especially in young adults and in men that have male sexual partners. In its early stages, syphilis is easily treatable. However, if left untreated, it can cause serious problems - even death. So it's important to understand as much as you can about this disease.

Contact Us SEARCH Web CNN.com Syphilis rate rises for second consecutive year Story Tools HEALTH LIBRARY Health Library Men's Health Women's Health Care for the whole family ATLANTA, Georgia (AP) The nation's syphilis rate has climbed for the second year in a row, mostly because of an increase in cases among gay and bisexual men, the government said Thursday. Between 2001 and 2002, the syphilis rate rose 9.1 percent from 2.2 cases per 100,000 people to 2.4 cases, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said. The rate had dropped every year between 1990 and 2000 before reversing course. The actual increase in cases was small 759 more people, for a total of 6,862 new cases but the rise among gay and bisexual men has caused concern that the public health safeguards and safe-sex practices adopted over the last two decades during the AIDS epidemic continue to crumble. "The vast majority of the United States is not seeing any syphilis at all," said Dr. John Douglas, director of the CDC's division of sexually transmitted diseases. "We're seeing syphilis rise primarily in groups of gay and bisexual men."

How is syphilis spread? Syphilis is spread by sexual contact with an infected individual, with the exception of congenital syphilis, which is spread from mother to fetus. Transmission by sexual contact requires exposure to moist lesions of skin or mucous membranes. What are the symptoms of syphilis? How soon do symptoms appear?

In 1996, 11,387 cases of primary and secondary syphilis in the United States were reported to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Although treatment is available, the early symptoms of syphilis can be very mild, and many people do not seek treatment when they first become infected. Of increasing concern is the fact that syphilis increases the risk of transmitting and acquiring the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) that causes AIDS. Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by a bacterium called Treponema pallidum. The initial infection causes an ulcer at the site of infection; however, the bacteria move throughout the body, damaging many organs over time. Medical experts describe the course of the disease by dividing it into four stages - primary, secondary, latent, and tertiary (late). An infected person who has not been treated may infect others during the first two stages, which usually last one to two years. In its late stages, untreated syphilis, although not contagious, can cause serious heart abnormalities, mental disorders, blindness, other neurologic problems, and death.
