| Description | Syphilis is a systemic, chronic, and worldwide spread infectious disease caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum, and its only natural host is man. The disease is transmitted predominantly through sexual contact (90%), but transplacental infection and blood transmission are also possible; other routes of infection are rare. The severity of syphilis is determined by the risk of various organs, particularly the skin, eye, CNS, cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems and the risk of transmission to the foetus during pregnancy or birth in an untreated mother. The article aims to provide comprehensive and concise information on acquired syphilis (lat. syphilis acquisita) in adults. |
