________________________________

  • The cause of syphilis is a bacterium called Treponema pallidum. The most common route of transmission is through contact with an infected person's sore during sexual activity. The bacteria enter your body through minor cuts or abrasions in your skin or mucous membranes.
  • A bacterial infection usually spread by sexual contact that starts as a painless sore.
  • Syphilis develops in stages and symptoms vary with each stage.

  • Requires a medical diagnosis
  • The first stage involves a painless sore on the genitals, rectum or mouth. After the initial sore heals, the second stage is characterised by a rash. Then, there are no symptoms until the final stage which may occur years later. This final stage can result in damage to the brain, nerves, eyes or heart.
