Describe the development of syphilis from infection through its last stage.
What will be an ideal response?
The progress of syphilis is generally divided into four stages: primary-stage, secondary-stage, latent, and late syphilis. The phase in which the chancre forms is primary-stage syphilis. A few months after the appearance of the chancre, a generalized body rash develops, marking the beginning of secondary-stage syphilis. After the symptoms of the secondary stage have disappeared, the disease is in the latent stage; this may last for years. About half of the people who enter this stage remain in it permanently without further complications. The other half move into dangerous late syphilis. In cardiovascular late syphilis, the heart and major blood vessels are attacked. In neurosyphilis, the brain and spinal cord are attacked, leading to insanity and paralysis. Both cardiovascular syphilis and neurosyphilis can be fatal.
