Syphilis is a serious disease which is passed on through sexual intercourse. a very serious disease that is passed from one person to another during sexual activity (Syphilus, main character in the 16th-century poem Syphilis sive Morbus Gallicus by Girolamo Fracastoro). Sexually transmitted disease caused by the spirochete Treponema pallidum. Without treatment, it may progress through three stages: primary, characterized by a chancre and low fever; secondary (weeks to months later; only half of those infected display symptoms), with a skin and mucous-membrane rash, lymph node swelling, and bone, joint, eye, and nervous system involvement; and tertiary. The tertiary stage follows a latency period that can last years, and only one-fourth of those infected display tertiary symptoms. These can be benign or incapacitating and even fatal; almost any part of the body may be attacked. Syphilis can spread to a fetus from an infected mother. Other species of Treponema cause similar but milder, nonsexually transmitted forms of syphilis (see yaws). Several blood tests can detect syphilis, even during latency. Antibiotic treatment is effective
a common venereal disease caused by the Treponema pallidum spirochete; symptoms change through progressive stages; can be congenital (transmitted through the placenta)
a chronic contagious, usually venereal and often congenital disease that is caused by a spirochete of the genus Treponema (T pallidum) and if left untreated produces chancres, rashes, and systemic lesions in a clinical course with three stages continued over many years
A sexually transmitted disease that if left untreated can cause heart and brain damage, paralysis, blindness and possibly death Symptoms include sores on the penis, mouth, or anus, flu-like symptoms, or none at all Also known as: AIDS, HIV, gonorrhea, hepatitis
chronic infectious disease cause by Treponema pallidum usually sexually transmitted but may be transmitted to fetus by infected mother
The pox, or venereal disease; a chronic, specific, infectious disease, usually communicated by sexual intercourse or by hereditary transmission, and occurring in three stages known as primary, secondary, and tertiary syphilis
Chronic effects of the syphilitic miasm as described by Hahnemann Destruction is a key element
a venereal disease that can cause lesions of the central nervous system and the cardiovascular system
The first stage of syphilis, characterized by formation of a painless chancre at the point of infection and hardening and swelling of adjacent lymph nodes
The second and highly infectious stage of syphilis, appearing from seven to ten weeks after the initial exposure, characterized by a general skin rash accompanied by various symptoms of illness such as fatigue, headache, sore throat, muscle pain, and fever
The final stage of syphilis, following a latent period that may last years, characterized by spread of the disease to many organs and tissues, including the skin, bones, joints, heart, brain, and spinal cord
