Absence or low individual and public risk

Latent syphilis, unspecified as early or late - what does this mean

Latent syphilis is caused by the bacteria treponema pallidum, which is usually transmitted through sexual contact. it initially causes a painless sore, which can go away on its own. if left untreated, the infection can become latent, meaning the bacteria can remain in the body without causing any symptoms. in this stage, the person is still contagious and can spread the infection to others.

What happens during the disease - latent syphilis, unspecified as early or late

Latent syphilis is a form of the sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacteria treponema pallidum. it is characterized by a period of asymptomatic infection, during which the bacteria remains dormant in the body. during this period, the bacteria can spread to other parts of the body, such as the heart, brain, and other organs, leading to severe and potentially life-threatening complications. during the latent stage, the only way to diagnose the infection is through a blood test. treatment typically includes a course of antibiotics, which can help to reduce the risk of further complications.
