SYPHILLIS BY: MALIK HANSLEY& IVERY SHEPPARD CORE 4-6 5-12-09
DISCOVERY • IN 1921 ALEXANDER FLEMING DISCOVERED SYPHILIS.
WHAT DOES IT CAUSE • SYPHILIS CAUSES STD-SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASE. IT IS CAUSE BY Treponema pallidum.
CURE • THE CURE FOR SYPHILIS IS A ANTBIOTIC CALLED PENICILLIN.
CASE HISTORY • A 22 year old, married male presented to us with asymptomatic raised skin lesions over the face and trunk of one month duration. He had a history of unprotected extramarital, heterosexual contact two months before. Ten days following the contact, the patient noticed a painless, genital sore. Even though he took some injections from a private practitioner, twenty days later he noticed asymptomatic, reddish, nodular skin lesions over his face. Similar nodules soon appeared over his trunk and limbs. Along with the eruption, he experienced low-grade fever and malaise.
