It appears at the location where syphilis enters the body. These painless chancres can occur in locations that make them difficult to notice (e.g., the vagina or anus). The chancre lasts 3 to 6 weeks and heals regardless of whether a person receives treatment. However, the infection will progress to the secondary stage if the person with syphilis does not receive treatment! kaibainsmom https://padlet.com/kaibainsmom/n28fmjtqc30ip5p/wish/2157728769 2022-04-26 02:56:23 UTC https://padlet.com/kaibainsmom/n28fmjtqc30ip5p/wish/2157728769 kaibainsmom https://padlet.com/kaibainsmom/n28fmjtqc30ip5p/wish/2157731350 2022-04-26 02:58:33 UTC https://padlet.com/kaibainsmom/n28fmjtqc30ip5p/wish/2157731350 Skin rashes and/or mucous membrane lesions (sores in the mouth, vagina, or anus) mark the second stage of symptoms. This stage typically starts with the development of a rash on one or more areas of the body. Rashes during the secondary stage: can appear when the primary chancre is healing or several weeks after the chancre heals, usually does not cause itching, may appear as rough, red, or reddish-brown spots on the palm of the hands or bottoms of the feet. Signs and symptoms of secondary syphilis may include: fever, swollen lymph nodes, sore throat, patchy hair loss, headaches, weight loss, muscle aches, fatigue. The symptoms of secondary syphilis will go away with or without treatment. However, without treatment, the infection will progress to the latent and possibly tertiary stage of disease! kaibainsmom https://padlet.com/kaibainsmom/n28fmjtqc30ip5p/wish/2157731565 2022-04-26 02:58:43 UTC https://padlet.com/kaibainsmom/n28fmjtqc30ip5p/wish/2157731565 kaibainsmom https://padlet.com/kaibainsmom/n28fmjtqc30ip5p/wish/2157733083 2022-04-26 02:59:56 UTC https://padlet.com/kaibainsmom/n28fmjtqc30ip5p/wish/2157733083 kaibainsmom https://padlet.com/kaibainsmom/n28fmjtqc30ip5p/wish/2157734146 2022-04-26 03:00:55 UTC https://padlet.com/kaibainsmom/n28fmjtqc30ip5p/wish/2157734146 kaibainsmom https://padlet.com/kaibainsmom/n28fmjtqc30ip5p/wish/2157735429 2022-04-26 03:01:54 UTC https://padlet.com/kaibainsmom/n28fmjtqc30ip5p/wish/2157735429 The latent (hidden) stage of syphilis is a period when there are no visible signs or symptoms of syphilis. Without treatment, syphilis will remain in the body even though there are no signs or symptoms. Early latent syphilis is latent syphilis where infection occurs within the past 12 months. Late latent syphilis is latent syphilis where infection occurs more than 12 months ago. Latent syphilis of unknown duration is when there is not enough evidence to confirm initial infection was within the previous 12 months. Latent syphilis can last for years. kaibainsmom https://padlet.com/kaibainsmom/n28fmjtqc30ip5p/wish/2157740210 2022-04-26 03:05:36 UTC https://padlet.com/kaibainsmom/n28fmjtqc30ip5p/wish/2157740210 Tertiary syphilis is rare and develops in a subset of untreated syphilis infections. It can appear 10–30 years after a person gets the infection, and it can be fatal. Tertiary syphilis can affect multiple organ systems, including the:brain, nerves, eyes, heart, blood vessels, liver, bones, joints. Symptoms of tertiary syphilis vary depending on the organ system affected. kaibainsmom https://padlet.com/kaibainsmom/n28fmjtqc30ip5p/wish/2157741964 2022-04-26 03:06:50 UTC https://padlet.com/kaibainsmom/n28fmjtqc30ip5p/wish/2157741964 kaibainsmom https://padlet.com/kaibainsmom/n28fmjtqc30ip5p/wish/2157743683 2022-04-26 03:08:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kaibainsmom/n28fmjtqc30ip5p/wish/2157743683 kaibainsmom https://padlet.com/kaibainsmom/n28fmjtqc30ip5p/wish/2157744162 2022-04-26 03:08:48 UTC https://padlet.com/kaibainsmom/n28fmjtqc30ip5p/wish/2157744162 kaibainsmom https://padlet.com/kaibainsmom/n28fmjtqc30ip5p/wish/2157744765 2022-04-26 03:09:17 UTC https://padlet.com/kaibainsmom/n28fmjtqc30ip5p/wish/2157744765 Depending on how long a pregnant person has had syphilis, they may be at high risk of having a stillbirth. The baby could also die shortly after birth. Untreated syphilis in pregnant people results in infant death in up to 40 percent of cases. A baby born alive with syphilis may not have any signs or symptoms of disease. However, if treatment is not immediate, the baby may develop serious problems within a few weeks. Babies who do not receive treatment may have developmental delays, seizures, or die. kaibainsmom https://padlet.com/kaibainsmom/n28fmjtqc30ip5p/wish/2157747069 2022-04-26 03:11:18 UTC https://padlet.com/kaibainsmom/n28fmjtqc30ip5p/wish/2157747069 Treatment kaibainsmom https://padlet.com/kaibainsmom/n28fmjtqc30ip5p/wish/2159498798 Penicillin antibiotic treatments are the primary form of treatment, there are some alternatives that can be used if there is a penicillin allergy.

It has essentially 4 stages of progression however it can be cured with antibiotics which can stop the progression even though it cannot always undo damage done. If it is left untreated it can lead to death. It is easily passed to newborns congenitally which can lead to stillbirth or death after birth. Even after successful treatment, reinfection can occur. Condoms can reduce the risk of getting or spreading syphilis.]]> 2022-04-27 01:48:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kaibainsmom/n28fmjtqc30ip5p/wish/2159540898
