Further Information
Syphilis is a chronic infection caused by the spirochete bacterium Treponema pallidum. Sexually transmitted infection is most common, but it may also be congenitally-acquired by transplacental transmission of the bacteria. Those who have the higher risk of infection, include those of a sexually active age, intravenous drug users, HIV-infected patients and homosexual males. Syphilis infection rates decreased significantly with the introduction of penicillin in 1943, which remains the main treatment today. However, the infection rate has been increasing since the early 2000’s.
