Venereal diseases are increasing in frequency today, due to the lack of moral restraint in society. Gonorrhea has been discussed in previous blog, but several other types are commonly seen. Syphilis is a chronic infection of the entire body, caused by Treponema pallidum and is usually sexually transmitted. After an incubation period of about three weeks, a primary sore develops with enlargement of the nearby lymph nodes.

Generalized rash on the skin develops in the secondary stage and after a latent period of many years, the tertiary stage can develop with progressive destructive lesions in the muscle, bone, aorta, or central nervous system. Although primary treatment with fever therapy was formerly effective in cases of syphilis, any current outbreak should be confirmed with appropriate blood (serologic) tests, a dark—field microscopic examination, and specific therapy as recommended by public health departments.

Other venereal infections include chancroid and lymphogranuloma venereum. These less common venereal disorders also must be treated definitively to prevent contagion.
