Syphilis is a well-known sexually transmitted disease (STD) primarily spread through sexual intercourse. Although sexual transmission is the most common, it can also be contracted through rare direct contact or passed from mother to child during birth, known as congenital syphilis.
Historical Impact
Many prominent figures in history have been afflicted by syphilis, including Pope Alexander VI, Christopher Columbus, King Henry VIII and five of his wives, Francis I of France, and Ivan the Terrible. Others include Queen Elizabeth I, King Edward VI, Napoleon, Edgar Allan Poe, Charles Darwin, Abraham Lincoln, Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler, and Al Capone. This underscores the long history of the disease.
The "Great Imitator"
Often called "The Great Imitator," syphilis is notoriously difficult to diagnose as it is frequently mistaken for other diseases. Annually, around 35,000 cases are reported, with 60% affecting males. If left untreated, syphilis can be fatal or cause severe damage to the heart, brain, and nerves.
Treatment Options
Treatment options include daily medication or penicillin injections, the latter being more effective. A penicillin injection is split between each buttock, a painful process that is eased with procaine.
Conclusion
