    Glossary Syphilis

    sexually transmitted infection caused by Treponema pallidum bacterium

    Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. It progresses through distinct stages—primary, secondary, latent, and tertiary—each with varying symptoms, such as sores, rashes, and potentially severe complications like neurological and cardiovascular damage if left untreated. Early detection and antibiotic treatment, typically with penicillin, are crucial for effective management.
