Pyle [Mr. Pyle's effort concerning this topic has been, so far, the best that I've encountered on the Internet.] Syphilis: Highly contagious disease caused by the spirochete Treponema pallidum . Disease may be acquired or congenital. In acquired syphilis, T. Pallidum enters the body through skin or mucous membranes, usually during sexual contact. Congenital syphilis is transmitted to the fetus from the infected mother when the spirochete penetrates the placenta. Syphilis is a systemic disease, involving tissues throughout the body. After initial penetration, the spirochetes multiply rapidly. First they enter the lymph capillaries where they are transported to the nearest lymph gland. There they multiply and are released into the bloodstream. Within days the spirochetes invade every part of the body. Three stages mark the progression of the disease; primary, secondary, and tertiary. Primary Stage: 10-60 days after infection. Primary lesion usually appears at point of contact, usually genitals. Typically a painless, slightly elevated, round ulcer, the chancre may be so small as to elude detection. Barring secondary infection, chancre will heal without treatment within 30-60 days leaving a scar that persists for several months.

Geschlechtskrankheiten Die Geschlechtskrankheit Syphilis (Lues) Syphilis (Lues) ist eine gefährliche Infektionskrankheit, die weltweit vorkommt. Erreger ist ein Bakterium, die Spirochäte Treponema pallidum. Die Übertragung erfolgt nur durch unmittelbaren Körperkontakt, bevorzugt beim Geschlechtsverkehr. Bis zum Ausbruch erster Krankheitssymptome dauert es zwischen drei Wochen und drei Monaten. Die Syphilis erhöht das Risiko, sich mit HIV zu infizieren und das Virus weiterzugeben. Akute Beschwerden Die Syphilis verläuft in Phasen. Zunächst bildet sich das Primärstadium (Lues I): Am Ort des Erregereintritts bildet sich ein schmerzloses rötliches Knötchen. Dies kann am Penis, den Schamlippen, der Scheide beziehungsweise im äußeren Genitalbereich, seltener anal oder im Mund lokalisiert sein. Es bildet sich zu einem harten Geschwür um, das als harter Schanker oder Ulcus durum bezeichnet wird. Es bleibt oft unbemerkt. Ferner kommt es zu einer schmerzlosen regionalen Lymphknotenschwellung. Wird die Syphilis nicht behandelt, heilt das Geschwür im Lauf einiger Wochen ab. Dann geht die Krankheit in das zweite Stadium über. Der Erreger breitet sich über die Lymphbahnen und den Blutweg auf den ganzen Körper aus.

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. About US Privacy

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by a type of bacteria called T. Pallidum . It can spread from person to person by physical contact during vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Syphilis infections are treatable and curable with antibiotics. How many people in San Francisco have it? Syphilis was on the decline until 1999 in San Francisco, when there was an outbreak related to an AOL chatroom. Since then (to date in March 2004), there have been almost 1,600 new cases, mostly among men who have sex with men. Each case of syphilis, on average, may have exposed 10 additional people, resulting in over 16,000 people possibly infected or exposed to syphilis in the last four years. Why worry about syphilis? Untreated syphilis can lead to organ damage, including brain damage, and in some cases death. In addition, syphilis infection makes HIV easier to catch or to give to sex partners. New data show that for people who have HIV, syphilis can dramatically increase their viral load and cause a drop in CD4 counts. This increase resolves with syphilis treatment. What are the symptoms?

You could get syphilis by touching the blood or sores of a person who has syphilis, especially sores on the person's mouth, penis, vagina or anus (the opening to the rectum). Return to top What are the signs of syphilis? In men, the first sign of syphilis may be a sore on the penis. In women, the first sign may be a sore around or inside the vagina. You might not even notice the sore, because syphilis sores don't hurt. The sores go away after 3 to 6 weeks. If you don't treat syphilis early, it spreads from the sore into your blood. When syphilis gets into your blood, it can cause many problems. The most common sign is a rash. The rash appears 2 weeks to 2 months after the appearance of the sores, often on the palms of the hands or the soles of the feet. Other signs of syphilis include fever, sore throat and swollen lymph glands. After many years, people with syphilis who don't get treatment may begin to have problems in their brain and spinal cord. Syphilis may damage the heart and other organs, too.

Infectious Diseases of the Central Nervous System Parenchymal Infections: Syphilis Gary Baumbach, M.D., Department of Pathology, University of Iowa College of Medicine Peer Review Status: Internally Peer Reviewed Syphilis, the only important spirochaetal infection of the brain, is caused by the organism Treponema pallidum . Infection of the CNS occurs in the context of tertiary syphilis one or more years following primary infection. Classically, there are three recognized types of CNS syphilis: meningovascular, parenchymatous, and tabes dorsalis. Because the parenchymatous form merely represents cortical extension of meningovascular syphilis, both types will be considered together. Parenchymatous syphilis was formerly called general paresis of the insane. This gross photo shows the findings typical of meningovascular-parenchymatous syphilis - thickening of the meninges at the dorsum of the brain and generalized cerebral atrophy. The microscopic findings in meningovascular-parenchymatous syphilis consist of meningeal fibrosis, cortical atrophy, proliferation of microglial cells, and iron deposition throughout the cortex. Iron deposits are brought out on this slide through the use of an iron-hematoxylin stain which stains the iron blue. The demonstration of the spirochaetal organisms is extemely difficult in the CNS regardless of the form of involvement. The only hope of demonstrating the organisms is with the use of special stains.

Syphilis is a complex sexually transmitted, infectious disease ( STD ) caused by the bacterium Treponema Pallidum. Syphilis is usually transmitted by sexual contact or kissing. Infection from contaminated objects rarely occurs because drying quickly kills the bacterium. A fetus carried by a woman with syphilis may contact the disease. When a fetus has syphilis, the condition is called congenital syphilis. Syphilis has often been called the great imitator because so many of the signs and symptoms are indistinguishable from those of other diseases. How is syphilis spread? The syphilis bacterium is passed from person to person through direct contact with a syphilis sore. Sores mainly occur 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 by toilet seats, door knobs, swimming pools, hot tubs, bath tubs, shared clothing, or eating utensils.

Syphilis Questions and Answers University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Peer Review Status: Internally Peer Reviewed First Published: 1997 Last Revised: January 2003 What is syphilis? Syphilis is a sexually transmitted (venereal) disease (STD) that is caused by an organism called "Treponema pallidum." Syphilis can affect men, women and infants. What are the signs and symptoms of syphilis? Syphilis is dangerous, but it is easily treated if it is diagnosed early. If left untreated, it can cause blindness, insanity, paralysis, heart disease or death. Symptoms may appear 10-90 days after exposure. Syphilis develops symptoms which are broken down into four stages. Signs and symptoms in an adult Stage One: This is an infectious (contagious) stage of the disease. There are two main symptoms in this stage: Swelling of the lymph glands and the appearance of chancres. Chancres are open, oval shaped sores with hard, raised borders. Chancres are usually seen on the genitals (penis or around the vagina), the mouth or anus, but may appear anywhere. Chancres in women may not be noticed because they may occur inside the vagina. Chancres are not painful and rarely bleed. Syphilis is passed from direct contact (during sex) with the chancres. Chancres will appear 10-28 days after sexual contact and will usually disappear in two to six weeks even if not treated. Stage Two: This is also an infectious stage. It begins two weeks to six months after the chancre is gone. A rash appears on the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet. The lymph glands swell, the throat may be sore, and patches appear in the mouth. Flat bumps that look like warts may be seen around the genitals and the mouth. These bumps are very infectious. Other symptoms include hair loss, loss of appetite, constipation, nausea, a low-grade fever and muscle, joint or bone pain. These symptoms may last two to six weeks.

The Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment ONE OF AMERICA'S DIRTY LITTLE SECRETS THE TUSKEGEE SYPHILIS EXPERIMENT Table Of Contents Introduction Human Beings As Laboratory Animals Bad Science Doctor's Orders ... The Snakes Experiments Introduction In 1932 the American Government promised 400 men - all residents of Macon County, Alabama, all poor, all African American - free treatment for Bad Blood, a euphemism for syphilis which was epidemic in the county. Treatment for syphilis was never given to the men and was in fact withheld. The men became unwitting subjects for a government sanctioned medical investigation, The Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male. The Tuskegee Study, which lasted for 4 decades, until 1972, had nothing to do with treatment. No new drugs were tested; neither was any effort made to establish the efficacy of old forms of treatment. It was a non therapeutic experiment, aimed at compiling data on the effects of the spontaneous evolution of syphilis on black males. What has become clear since the story was broken by Jean Heller in 1972 was that the Public Health Service (PHS) was interested in using Macon County and its black inhabitants as a laboratory for studying the long term effects of untreated syphilis, not in treating this deadly disease.
