133 – Syphilis
Manage episode 452378586 series 3528644
Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. Known for its varied symptoms and potential to progress through multiple stages, syphilis can have serious health consequences if left untreated, affecting organs like the heart, brain and nerves. The infection spreads primarily through direct contact with syphilitic sores, which typically occur on the genital, anal or oral areas. Though syphilis was once thought to be largely under control, its prevalence has resurged in recent years, prompting renewed focus on prevention, early diagnosis and effective treatment. In this episode, Dr Roger Henderson discusses new syphilis guidelines issued by the British Association for Sexual Health and HIV and how these impact treatment in primary care.
