In the movie 'Lost Voice', Merry Streep plays Florence Foster Jenkins, who is infected by her husband and is deeply troubled by syphilis. At this point, my mind involuntarily reviews and reminisces about several stages of syphilis, which is probably also an occupational disease, right?
There is controversy over the exact source of syphilis. Regardless of whether it was transmitted from the Americas to Europe or whether syphilis already exists in Europe, it can be determined that there were no records of syphilis in China before the 16th century. In 1505, syphilis was introduced from India to the Lingnan area of Guangdong, known as "Guangdong sore" or "Yangmei sore" at the time. Since then, syphilis has begun to spread inland.
In the fifth year of the Chongzhen reign (1632), Chen Sicheng of the Ming Dynasty wrote a volume called "The Secret Record of Mycorrhea", which is the earliest surviving monograph on syphilis in China. The book records 29 cases and provides a detailed description of syphilis symptoms, transmission, and genetics. It proposes treatment principles of "detoxification, heat clearing, and pest killing", and uses arsenic and mercury based "raw milk" for treatment. It pioneered the treatment of syphilis with arsenic and mercury. (Recommended reading: Is it always itchy during menstruation? Maintenance and cleaning of private areas during menstruation Quick Q&A)
The Gram-negative bacteria, "pallidum spirochete", the cause of syphilis, was first discovered in 1905 (thanks to the invention of the microscope first). Subsequently, an experiment with penicillin (penicillin) was conducted, and its therapeutic effect was confirmed in 1943. Before the birth of effective therapies, mercury and isolation were also used in Europe and America for treatment. The treatment itself was worse than the disease because mercury toxicity can cause harm to the body organs.
Both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine are very eager to help treat patients. Before effective treatment or identification of pathogens, they always undergo a lot of trial and error learning, observe patient reactions, and further revise and search for more effective treatment principles. Medicine is always a never-ending field of study, and knowledge often needs to be updated. In front of heaven, we are all doing our best and following the fate of heaven.

Treatment:
In the initial stage and the second stage of syphilis, the effect of Intramuscular injection of penicillin is very good. If there is resistance or allergy to penicillin, other antibiotics will be used, which will have a good effect in about 1-2 weeks.
So it is recommended that individuals who are known to have contracted syphilis be treated early. After receiving treatment, there will still be imprints left in the serum, just like scars left after skin injury. Therefore, subsequent follow-up needs to test the PRP and TPHA values in order to effectively determine. (Recommended reading: How to check for breast tumors?)
