Recently, Xiao Xiao, a citizen, grew a lot of tumors around his anus. He thought it was hemorrhoids. He went to the hospital for examination and found that it was not hemorrhoids but flat warts. The positive reaction of syphilis antibody in Blood test was diagnosed as syphilis, which surprised him.
Why are syphilis and hemorrhoids so similar?
Flat warts are a common symptom of syphilis. The pathogen is a small and slender spiral like microorganism, which is transparent and difficult to stain, so it is also known as pale spirochete. It is difficult to see under a regular microscope and can only be observed under a microscope.
Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease with complex multiple system organ damage, mainly caused by Treponema pallidum infection. Clinically, it can be divided into three stages. Phase I syphilis, also known as hard lower heat rash, is often a localized infection of the external genitalia caused by the entry of syphilitic spirochetes into the human body. The main lesions of secondary syphilis are skin and mucous membrane damage. The common ones are maculopapule and Pityriasis rosea, of which verruca plana is one of the main manifestations of secondary syphilis.
Treponema pallidum is an anaerobic microorganism that is difficult to survive without the human body. It mainly invades the human body from the damaged skin and mucous membranes of the genital organs during sexual intercourse, with over 95% of cases infected through sexual contact. Treponema pallidum can also exist in saliva, milk, urine, and semen of the human body. Therefore, it can also be transmitted through kissing, breastfeeding, contact with contaminated clothing, towels, utensils, medical equipment, blood transfusions, and other means. Pregnant women who suffer from syphilis can infect their fetuses through the placenta.
