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.

Syphilis ist eine seit Jahrhunderten bekannte Krankheit. Schon 1495 kam es zu der ersten beschriebenen Epidemie. Syphilis wird auch vielfach Lues oder Harter Schanker genannt. Die in der Regel über Geschlechtsverkehr übertragbare Erkrankung wird von den Bakterien Treponema pallidum verursacht. Syphilis verläuft in Stadien. Sie kann alle Organe befallen und führt unbehandelt zum Tode. Während der Schwangerschaft kann eine Mutter ihr Kind anstecken. Ist die Mutter an Syphilis erkrankt, kann sie das Kind während der Schwangerschaft über die Plazenta infizieren. Dies ist erst nach dem 4. Monat möglich. Wurde die Mutter vor oder während des ersten Drittel der Schwangerschaft erfolgreich behandelt, wird das Kind nicht geschädigt. Je nach Schweregrad der mütterlichen Infektion kann im 7. oder 8. Monat eine Totgeburt erfolgen. Liegt die Infektion der Mutter länger zurück, kann das infizierte Kind Symptome des zweiten Stadiums , wie Anämie, Hepatitis oder Lungenentzündung, aufzeigen. Es kann allerdings bei der Geburt auch beschwerdefrei sein und erst nach Jahren oder Jahrzehnten erste Symptome entwickeln.

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.

The history of syphilis and its treatment One cannot help but be amazed and humbled when examining the microscopic spirochete, Treponema pallidum. Such a small creature with such a sordid past. This bacteria has been a part of hundreds of years worth of human history, and probably thousands of years worth of prehistory. It has been written about, debated over, and has effected every culture it has come into contact with. This is the corkscrew shaped bacteria responsible for the infection that we call syphilis. bodyOffer(6604) Treponema pallidum So how do we know that T. pallidum isn't acting alone in causing all of these different diseases? We don't. The agents that cause syphilis, yaws, non-venereal endemic syphilis and pinta seem to be completely homologous. We diagnos treponemal infections based on their symptoms. When the pathologist finds bacteria, he finds a treponemal bacteria. Depending on his own personal school of thought, he may call all treponemal bacteria T. pallidum, or he may look at the symptoms of the disease and then specify a different treponemal agent that he considers to be a subspecies of T. pallidum or a different species all together. The genus treponema causes both syphilis and several non-venereal treponematoses. The non-venereal forms include yaws, pinta, and bejel. This paper will focus solely on venereal syphilis.

72. Secrets Of The Dead . The Syphilis Enigma | PBS Home, Cases Archive, It s likely that researchers will never come to an agreementabout where syphilis originated and how it arrived in the Old World. http://www.pbs.org/wnet/secrets/case_syphilis/

It's likely that researchers will never come to an agreement about where syphilis originated and how it arrived in the Old World. The most widely accepted theory is that the venereal form of the disease arrived on the shores of Europe along with Christopher Columbus's crew, when they returned in 1493 from a journey to the New World. Indeed, although no cases of the disease seem to have existed in Europe before Columbus sailed to the New World, it had reached epidemic levels on the continent by around 1500. But in recent years, pre-Columbian skeletons such as those unearthed at the Hull friary in England have been found with distinctive signs of syphilis. Those skeletons have turned the nice, tidy picture of New World origins into a muddy mess. The sexually-transmitted form of syphilis is caused by a corkscrew-shaped bacterium called Treponema pallidum, which is one of a closely-related group of bacteria called the treponomes. Other treponomes are responsible for the three non-venereal forms of syphilis, which primarily affect the skin and are most common in early childhood. Bejel, also caused by Treponema pallidum, is prevalent among Bedouin tribes and elsewhere in the Middle East; pinta, caused by the Treponema carateum bacterium, is common in Central and South America; and yaws, the result of infection with the Treponema pertenue bacterium, is found in moist, tropical regions throughout the world. Venereal syphilis probably mutated out of one of those other forms most likely, researchers say, from the bacterium that causes yaws. When that happened, however, is the big mystery.

Syphilis can be transmitted between partners during sexual intercourse and from an infected pregnant woman across the placenta to a developing baby. In England, diagnoses of syphilis have increased substantially since 1997, driven in part by outbreaks such as those in Manchester and London. Concern about the potential spread of syphilis amongst both gay men, and heterosexual men and women, has resulted in the development of new surveillance initiatives by CDSC in partnership with Public Health, Microbiology and Genitourinary Medicine colleagues.

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 2003), there have been almost 1200 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 12,000 people possibly infected or exposed to syphilis in the last three 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 shows that for people who have HIV, syphilis can dramatically increase their viral load. This increase resolves with syphilis treatment. What are the symptoms?

History of Sexuality Women's History Stella Browne Archives ... Site Search The Great Scourge' : Syphilis as a medical problem and moral metaphor, 1880-1916 Lesley A. Hall Wellcome Institute for the History of Medicine, London NB : Not to be quoted without the author's permission Some of the material in this paper appears in my chapter on VD in the UK from the Contagious Diseases Acts to the National Health Service, and in the Introduction, in Roger Davidson and Lesley A. Hall (eds), Sex, Sin and Suffering: Venereal Disease and European Society Since 1870 (Routledge, 2001). However, the approach is sufficiently different (and there is material here which does not appear in SSS), that I am leaving this paper available on-line. Why did syphilis become such a reverberating topic around the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries? Was this simply because it clearly encoded several resonant anxieties around sex and gender at a time of ever-accelerating social change and increasing threats to the self-confidence of the 'advanced' Western nations which throughout the nineteenth century had regarded themselves as at the pinnacle of evolution? Syphilis certainly provided a potent metaphor for a plethora of moral concerns, but at the end of the nineteenth century also stood as a ghastly reminder of the inadequacies of medical and sanitary science. The nineteenth century had seen many successes in the war against disease: improved sanitation and water supplies had largely eradicated the epidemics of typhoid and cholera which had seemed so devastating in the earlier decades of the century. Isolation hospitals further prevented the wildfire spread of infectious diseases, while vaccination (albeit a contested practice) had made significant inroads towards eradicating this dangerous and disfiguring ailment.
