Perception regarding syphilis

Raveen Rajnath

Syphilis is caused by a spirochete bacterium called Treponema pallidum. It penetrates broken skin of the genitals or the mucous membranes of the mouth or anus. Syphilis is most generally passed on through vaginal without a condom or dental dam, with somebody who has syphilis. An individual can pass on syphilis regardless of whether they don't have any symptoms. Syphilis causes infectious chancres or rashes. Chancres shift in size from a couple of millimeters to a few centimeters. A chancre is typically easy, lone, and shallow, with a sharp line and raised hard edge. Around 70–80% of patients have rubbery, non-tender, swollen lymph nodes, frequently on just one side of the groin, during the initial stage of infection. If untreated, the chancre will remain for 1-6 weeks.
