Extractions: PIDL Home/ Contents Development Nutrition Acute Illness ... Psychosocial Infectious Diseases CONGENITAL SYPHILIS Syphilitic pregnant women who have not received therapy may transmit the infection to their fetuses at any clinical stage of their disease. 70% of all pregnant women with untreated primary syphilis, 90% of women with secondary syphilis and approximately 30% of women with latent syphilis may transmit the infection to their fetuses. In general the greater the time that has elapsed since the woman's primary or secondary infection the less likely she is to transmit disease to the fetus. At the onset of congenital syphilis, T. pallidum is liberated directly into the circulation of the fetus resulting in widespread dissemination. The outcome of untreated fetal infection is variable. Intrauterine death occurs in an estimated 25% of infections. Perinatal death may occur in an additional 25% of untreated infected babies. The signs and symptoms of congenital syphilis are arbitrarily divided into early manifestations, which appear in the first 2 years of life, and late manifestations. Early congenital syphilis usually has onset between birth and about three months of life, with most cases occurring within the first five weeks of life. The baby with congenital syphilis may appear perfectly normal at birth only to appear later in the newborn period with "septic" syphilis characterized by multi- organ failure.

Text message services Information About NetDoctor Commercial opportunities NetDoctor.com Syphilis Reviewed by Dr John Pillinger , GP Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease caused by a bacteria (Treponema pallidum). Babies can be born with syphilis as they can catch the disease from their mothers in the womb. Syphilis is no longer commonplace in the developed world but it is still widespread in Asia and Africa. Many of the cases of syphilis seen in the UK are contracted in these countries. The first stage of syphilis is contagious and occurs three to six days after contact. Lesions show where the skin has been in contact with the bacteria. The lesions appear as painless red sores (chancre) and are often seen on the penis or the labia or inside the vagina itself. Lesions can also be found in the rectum after anal sex, or in the mouth after oral sex. The lesions will usually disappear after a few weeks.

Extractions: Congenital Syphilis Syphilis is a notifiable disease. Untreated maternal primary or latent syphilis results in fetal or perinatal death in 20 % of pregnancies, preterm delivery in 20% and congenital syphilis in 40 % of term deliveries. There are no accurate figures for the incidence in the KGV population. We estimate the numbers of symptomatic congenital syphilis at no more than 1-2 cases /year, with perhaps five times that number of asymptomatic cases. The risk is increased Aboriginal babies, in babies whose mothers are unbooked, are itinerant or whose lifestyle places them at risk eg intravenous drug users. In developing countries congenital syphilis is still common. Recent migrants and refugees are therefore also at increased risk. Most commonly there will be a maternal history of positive syphilis serology on routine screening which will have resulted in maternal treatment. However in cases where the infection was acquired later in pregnancy than the routine maternal serology was performed, or in the cases where serology has not been performed, presentation may be with clinical disease in the baby with the commonest features being: Screening (non-specific) tests Specific tests TPPA (Treponema pallidum particle agglutination) FTA (fluorescent Treponemal absorption) which can be for IgG or IgM

Extractions: Advanced Search A patient information handout on syphilis, written by the authors of this article, is provided on page 2245. The diagnosis and treatment of syphilis can present difficult dilemmas. Serologic tests can be negative if they are performed at the stage when lesions are present, and the VDRL test can be negative in patients with late syphilis. Cerebrospinal fluid examination is not required in patients with primary or secondary disease and no neurologic signs or symptoms, but it may be warranted in patients with late latent syphilis or in whom the duration of infection is unknown. Patients with penicillin allergy can be treated with alternative regimens if they have primary or secondary syphilis. Penicillin is the only effective drug for neurosyphilis; oral desensitization should be accomplished before treatment of penicillin-allergic patients. Other dilemmas may be encountered in the treatment of patients who have concurrent human immunodeficiency virus infection.

For regularly updated information on a variety of health topics, please visit familydoctor.org , the AAFP patient education Web site. An article on this topic is available in this issue of AFP What is syphilis? Syphilis (say: siff-uh-liss) is a serious infection. It's passed from one person to another during sex. It's caused by a bacteria (germ). You could get syphilis by touching the blood or sores of a person who has syphilis, especially sores on the person's mouth, penis, vagina or anus (the opening to the rectum). What are the signs of syphilis? In men, the first sign of syphilis may be a sore on the penis. In women, the first sign may be a sore around or inside the vagina. You might not even notice the sore, because syphilis sores don't hurt. The sores go away after three to six weeks. If you don't treat syphilis early, it spreads from the sore into your blood. When syphilis gets into your blood, it can cause many problems. The most common sign is a rash. The rash may show up, often on the palms of the hands or the soles of the feet, from two weeks to two months after the sore appeared. Other signs of syphilis include fever, sore throat and swollen lymph glands.

http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/html/std/stds2.html

Extractions: Syphilis is passed from person to person through direct contact with the syphilis sore, lesion, or moist rash. It can be passed through sexual contact, which includes vaginal, anal and oral sex. Kissing can pass the disease if one of the people has a sore on the lips or in the mouth. Pregnant woman can pass the disease to their babies before birth. What are the symptoms of Syphilis? The first stage of Syphilis is marked by a single sore or chancre. It is firm, round, and painless. The chancre could appear on the penis, mouth, or lips, inside or outside the vagina or anus, or on the hand. The chancre lasts 1-5 weeks and heals on its own. The second stage of Syphilis is marked when one or more rashes appear on the hands and soles of the feet, in the groin area, and all over the body. Some of the rashes look like symptoms of other diseases. The second stage symptoms can also include fever, swollen lymph glands, sore throat, patchy hair loss, muscle aches, and tiredness. The rashes lasts 2-6 weeks and clear up on their own. About 25% of untreated people will have a return of the second stage symptoms within 12 months. If Syphilis is left untreated, the symptoms will disappear but the germ will remain within the body and may seriously damage the brain, the heart and the nervous system. The results of the inside damage shows up many years later. The final result may be death.

About IMS Physicians Health News and Information at your fingertips From mercury to malaria to penicillin: The history of the treatment of syphilis at the Mayo Clinic, 1916-1955 by Jeffrey S. Sartin, MD and Harold O. Perry, MD Abstract "There is nothing but Syphilis," A Rebours, 1884 In this time of multitudinous broad-spectrum antibiotics, it is edifying to ponder what medicine was like before their advent. A simple streptococcal sore throat often heralded fatal rheumatic fever or glomerulonephritis, and pneumococcal pneumonia was more often than not fatal. Humankind was at the mercy of its microbes. One disease towered over all others in its psychic hold on both practitioners and their patients, namely, syphilis. Pneumonia, as Osler observed, may have been "the Captain of the Ship of Death," but syphilis was our Terminator, cruelly seeking out the weak and (presumed) wicked for judgment. In the early years of this century the frustration with the inadequacies of antisyphilitic treatment gave way to a vigorous optimism that the scourge could be controlled. Ehrlich's salvarsan (an arsenical) preceded Wagner von Jauregg's malaria therapy, and by the middle of the century both were eclipsed by a new compound, penicillin. The Mayo Clinic grew into maturity in this first half century of discovery. The era was marked by the preeminence of two men who chaired the Department of Dermatology and Syphilology. John H. Stokes and Paul A. O'Leary. These men were in the vanguard of the search for a cure for syphilis, together with Joseph Earle Moore of Johns Hopkins University.

Extractions: Syphilis is a multi-system, multi-symptom disorder that occurs primarily through sexual transmission, though the disease can be spread through blood transfusion and direct contact with an infected lesion. Patients tend to be younger, with a history of unprotected sex. Elderly patients may manifest late-stage syphilis left untreated many years before. In cases of congenital syphilis, the patient may manifest Hutchinson's triad (interstitial keratitis, deafness and malformed teeth), osteochondritis (inflammation of both bone and cartilage), chorioretinitis, hepatosplenomegaly (enlargement of the liver and spleen), and anorexia. In the primary stage of acquired syphilis, the patient develops a painless chancre at the site of inoculation, as well as regional lymphadenopathy. While primarily genital, chancres may develop on the eyelid and conjunctiva. Other ocular signs in the primary stage include conjunctivitis, blepharitis, and alopecia. In the secondary stage of acquired syphilis, the patient will develop malaise, lymphadenopathy, fever, maculopapular skin lesions on the palms and soles, joint pain, headache, and loss of appetite. Ocular signs are most common in secondary syphilis and include episcleritis, anterior uveitis, uveitic glaucoma, neuroretinitis, chorioretinitis, ischemic retinal vasculopathy, and infectious optic neuropathy.
