The disease is then transmitted via contact with the chancre. In females, the chancre usually forms inside the vagina, however, for males, the chancre is usually on the penis. The chancre will usually heal within 6 weeks, and makes it seem that the disease has run its course. ]]> 2022-11-17 20:57:42 UTC https://padlet.com/elee021/o06wt2mwozrobrad/wish/2388978879 elee021 https://padlet.com/elee021/o06wt2mwozrobrad/wish/2388981347 The second stage of syphilis appears a few weeks after the first stage and usually is a pink rash that covers the whole body, and it can also come with joint pain, fever, or hair loss. ]]> 2022-11-17 21:00:54 UTC https://padlet.com/elee021/o06wt2mwozrobrad/wish/2388981347 elee021 https://padlet.com/elee021/o06wt2mwozrobrad/wish/2388991268 The symptoms of the second stage of syphilis subside in about 3 months and if the disease is not cured, the disease progresses to the latent stage. Although the immune system may kill the bacterium on it's own, the symptoms of syphilis can come and go for years. The disease can progress to tertiary syphilis which can produce destructive lesions in the brain. It can also cause damages to bones, joints, and the cardiovascular organs. Tertiary syphilis can also lead to death. ]]> 2022-11-17 21:11:16 UTC https://padlet.com/elee021/o06wt2mwozrobrad/wish/2388991268 elee021 https://padlet.com/elee021/o06wt2mwozrobrad/wish/2388992646 The treatment for syphilis is antibiotics but any damage that has already been done from the disease can not be reversed with antibiotics. ]]> 2022-11-17 21:13:07 UTC https://padlet.com/elee021/o06wt2mwozrobrad/wish/2388992646 elee021 https://padlet.com/elee021/o06wt2mwozrobrad/wish/2388995644 The bacterium that causes syphilis is the spiral shaped Treponema pallidum. ]]> 2022-11-17 21:16:45 UTC https://padlet.com/elee021/o06wt2mwozrobrad/wish/2388995644 elee021 https://padlet.com/elee021/o06wt2mwozrobrad/wish/2389009161 There are ways to prevent the spread of syphilis.
