How's it caused? What are the symptoms? How many people are affected? Prevention ... Treatment It's caused by the bacterium called treponema pallidum that enters the body through the mucous membranes of the genital area or the skin. Symptoms develop in three stages. In the primary stage, symptoms may take up to 12 weeks to appear after infection. One or more painless sores (chancres) appear at the place where the infection entered the body. In women, they may appear on the vulva, the clitoris, around the opening of urethra, or on the cervix. In men they may appear on the penis or the foreskin. In men and women they may appear around the anus and mouth and the sores may take between two to six weeks to heal. The secondary stage develops within the next two years if the infection isn't treated. Symptoms include:

Extractions: SYPHILIS In 1906 Paul Ehrlich, the famous German physician, who died in 1915, discovered Salvarsan 606 and Neosalvarsan 614, the world's first chemotherapeutic agents for systemic treatment of a micro-organism. These were to revolutionise the treatment of syphilis. For centuries before Salvarsan, treatment was by the use of mercury and iodides but these medications usually failed to prevent the disease progressing over the years to the incurable tertiary stages. It is of interest that in 1915, nine years after the discovery of Salvarsan, mercury was still prescribed by injection and inunction. Despite the availability of a specific cure, and the use of the Wassermann test for diagnosis, syphilis was a major problem affecting the health of soldiers on the Western Front; I recall treating an aged lady in 1986 who had developed a manifestation of tertiary syphilis. Her primary infection, in 1919, of which she was unaware, was from her husband who had returned to Australia from the Western Front. The following account of the treatment of syphilis is taken from the "Practitioner's Encyclopaedia of Medical Treatment" published in 1915 by Oxford Medical Publications. Intravenous injections are commonplace today but they were rarely used at the beginning of the century and Mr McDonough, FRCS., the author of the article quoted below, obviously considered it to be important to describe in detail how they should be given.

By Jennifer Viegas, Discovery News Jan. 19, 2005 The theories, published in the Feb. 1 edition of the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases , may explain why Shakespeare (1564-1616) could have had a Parkinson-like tremor later in his life, why he apparently withdrew from social situations, and why the famed writer might have experienced some baldness at a relatively early age. expand The Bard as a Young Man Shakespeare had a knowledge of syphilis that was clinically exact.

Related News Officials Ban Love Letters on Juliet's House Disguise the Norm in 18th-Century Venice Book: Who Killed Chaucer? To support the claims, Dr. John Ross, of the Division of Infectious Diseases at Caritas St. Elizabeth's Medical Center in Boston, points to four primary lines of evidence: the prevalence of syphilis in Shakespeare's England; the bard's interest in, and knowledge of, STDs; documentation by and about Shakespeare; and his physical appearance. Surviving hospital records indicate that English hospitals during the mid to late 16th century were flooded with syphilis patients. In 1579, one physician wrote that 75 percent of patients were being treated for "the French pox," a reference to syphilis.
