Syphilide Papular

Syphilides, or syphilis, is a chronic infectious disease caused by the bacterium HIV spirochete, which can be transmitted from one person to another through sexual contact or skin-to-skin contact.

Syphilidiasis occurs in three stages of development:

1. The first stage - begins with the appearance of small red spots in the genital area and on the head of the penis, which are called “cracks”. Then larger spots called "pustules" with a pus-filled crust may appear. In some cases, genital lesions may occur: ulcers, ulcers.

2. Second stage - begins after the healing of ulcers in the first stage. At this stage, the lymph nodes are affected, including the groin area. In the area of ​​the lymph nodes in the second stage, small spots also appear, let's call them “ulcers,” which spread through the lymphatic system, leading to damage to any other organs of the body. In addition to the itching of the genital areas where there are ulcers, the affected lymph glands cause pain. Inflammation of the lymph glands causes redness of the skin of the genital organs. Also at this stage, hearing loss may develop on the side of one of the infected glands.

3. The third stage is the last stage of syphilidism, when the disease can enter the body completely.

After the first two stages, the patient may not have symptoms for several years. However, as you move to the third stage, more atypical signs of syphilide may appear: putrid breath, inflammation of the ear canal, discoloration of the skin, hair loss, eye damage, paralysis of the limbs, difficulty breathing, loss of speech, ataxia, hallucinations, severe pain throughout body and gradual death of the organism. This is because syphilis bacteria can enter the bloodstream and from there into vital organs such as the liver, heart, brain or bone marrow. Therefore, syphilis can lead to the formation of metastatic tumors or heart attacks, due to bone damage or vascular death and blood clots. However, syphilid metastases are not obligatory, and most patients can live the rest of their days without symptoms.

Treatment for syphilis involves antibiotics, such as penicillin, in a regimen designed to fight germs and strengthen the immune system. It is also recommended to maintain personal hygiene to avoid transmitting bacteria to others.
