Syphilis is caused by a bacteria called Treponema pallidum. It passes from person to person by contact with the sores from primary stage syphilis. Typically, this happens during unprotected sexual contact.

Pregnant women can pass sexually transmitted diseases like syphilis to their unborn babies, which can cause a miscarriage, low birth weight, or other serious health problems for the baby. Syphilis treatment is safe during pregnancy.

It’s not true that one cannot get syphilis from casual contact such as shaking hands or talking to an affected person, from toilet seats, shared clothing, swimming pools, or utensils or food, said Dr. Qaisar Ahmed.

If a syphilis sore is in a place that the condom doesn’t cover, you can still transmit the bacteria and vice versa (get infection in wound anywhere on the body, in mouth, eyes, nose etc – extragenital sites; most often on the lips and tongue).

Signs and symptoms

Syphilis infection, when untreated, progresses through different clinical stages with characteristic signs and symptoms.

Primary syphilis

The first, or primary, stage of syphilis is characterized by the formation of a painless ulcer known as a chancre. This sore develops at the site of infection and is usually solitary. A chancre is usually firm and round in shape. Sometimes, multiple chancres may be present. The chancre contains infectious bacteria and while the sore is present, the condition is highly contagious.

Symptoms typically develop at around 21 days after the infection, but they may appear anywhere from 10 to 90 days following infection (depends on individual immune response).

chancre, usually appearing on the penis, labia, cervix, or anorectal region. (Because in women the chancre often occurs internally, it may go unnoticed.) The lesion often occurs in combination with a painless swelling of the regional lymph nodes, and together these symptoms are the major characteristics of syphilis in its earliest stage.

The chancre usually occurs approximately three weeks after infection; it is a single, red papule that gradually begins to erode, forming a painless, clean ulcer with a smooth, raised border. The fluid expressed from the lesion contains the spirochete Treponema pallidum, the causative agent of syphilis. The size of the eroded area ranges from a few millimeters to several centimeters; usually chancres that occur at extragenital sites (most often on the lips and tongue) are larger than genital chancres. Although the chancre itself can heal without treatment in two to six weeks, the underlying syphilis will progress to the secondary phase unless treatment with penicillin is undertaken.

Lesions that look like the chancres typical of syphilis may occur in people infected with one form of tuberculosis; these lesions appear two to three weeks after the tubercle bacillus penetrates the skin and heal spontaneously over a 12-month period. True chancres, however, have a syphilitic origin, and examination of the causative organism (in material taken from the base of the ulcer) can reveal the nature of the lesion.

Transmission: Any contact with the chancre can spread the infection. If the chancre is located in the mouth, for example, even kissing can spread the disease. The chancre lasts for about 3 to 6 weeks and typically then goes deep into the tissue camouflaging itself.

Secondary syphilis

If primary syphilis is left untreated, secondary syphilis may develop. This stage of the illness usually occurs a few weeks to several months after the primary stage.

Secondary syphilis is characterized by a skin rash that typically does not itch and may easily be mistaken for rashes caused by other illnesses. It may appear on almost any part of the body, including sores inside the mouth, vagina, or anus.

The rash of secondary syphilis is often found on the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet, which is unusual for most rashes. In some people, the rash may be mild and not noticed. Raised gray or whitish patches of skin, known as condyloma Lata, may also develop, particularly in warm and moist areas of the body such as the armpits, mouth, or groin.

In secondary syphilis, the infection has spread throughout the body, so other symptoms may be associated with the skin manifestations:

• Fever.
• Enlarged lymph nodes.
• Fatigue.
• Weight loss.
• Hair loss.
• Headaches.
• Muscle aches.

These symptoms will eventually subside, but if this secondary stage of the infection is not treated, the infection can progress to tertiary syphilis.

Tertiary syphilis

After the symptoms of secondary syphilis go away, the infection remains latent in the body if untreated. About 15% of infected and untreated people will go on to develop the third stage of syphilis, which can occur as much as 10 to 20 years after the initial infection. Tertiary syphilis is characterized by damage to any number of organ systems and can even be fatal.

Tertiary syphilis can cause damage to the –

• Brain.
• Nerves.
• Eyes.
• Heart.
• Blood vessels.
• Liver.
• Bones.
• Joints.

Symptoms that can result from the late stage of syphilis include problems with movement, gradual loss of sight, dementia, paralysis, and numbness.

Neurosyphilis is the term used to refer to the involvement of the central nervous system and alterations in neurologic function.

Neonatal or congenital syphilis

Untreated syphilis in pregnant women results in the death of the fetus in up to 40% of infected pregnant women (stillbirth or death shortly after birth), so all pregnant women should be tested for syphilis at their first prenatal visit. The screening test is usually repeated in the third trimester of pregnancy as well. If infected babies are born and survive, they are at risk for serious problems including seizures and developmental delays.

Diagnosing

There are two types of tests used to diagnose syphilis: treponemal tests (that identify antibodies to the causative organism) and non-treponemal tests (that identify the body’s response to the infection but not to the organism itself).

These tests detect the body’s response to the infection, but not to the actual Treponema organism, that’s why they are not specific enough to establish the diagnosis. So, a positive screening VDRL or RPR test must be followed by a treponemal test to detect the organism.

A number of different tests are available that detect antibodies to Treponema pallidum bacteria.

For example: the micro hemagglutination assay for T. pallidum (MHA-TP) and the fluorescent treponemal antibody absorbed test (FTA-ABS).

These tests can confirm the diagnosis of syphilis if a nontreponemal test such as VDRL or RPR is positive.

Allopathic treatments for syphilis

Penicillin is the treatment of choice for syphilis in all stages. The dose may be one intramuscular injection of long acting benzathine penicillin G (2.4 million units) or three doses of this drug at weekly intervals, depending on the stage of syphilis, or if the stage is unknown.

While treatment kills the bacteria and prevents further organ damage, it will not reverse damage to the organs that have already occurred.

Treatment with penicillin is not safe during pregnancy as penicillin affects the fetus’s brain (central nervous system).

People who are allergic to penicillin can take an alternate medication.

Every system of medicine has its own limitations. Allopathy can treat and relieve most of the infectious diseases (especially acute) and give relief (not necessarily cure!). It can handle surgical cases and most emergencies well. The biggest drawback of allopathy lies in its incapacity to cure most of the chronic medical diseases and especially those like asthma, skin diseases, diabetes, hypertension (blood pressure), thyroid, liver diseases, cardiac diseases (heart)…..and the list is endless.

Homeopathies have a CURE for such chronic diseases even those like asthma, skin diseases, etc that are not lifestyle diseases also can be cured. Not only chronic but also acute diseases can be treated well by Homeopathy; when applied properly, in avoiding almost 70% of the surgeries that are being conducted these days. That’s a big number indeed!

In my opinion, homeopathy should, in fact be the first line of treatment!

Complications of syphilis

Untreated syphilis spreads throughout the body (late syphilis) and causes complications with various organ systems for example: blindness, dementia, aortic aneurysm, deafness, stroke, spreading of the infection to the brain (central nervous system) etc.

Untreated syphilis in pregnant women results in the death of the fetus in up to 40% of infected pregnant women (stillbirth or death shortly after birth).
