Treponema pallidum • transmission – genital/genital – in utero or during birth ◼ 0.1-0.2 x 6-15um; 8-14 small, regular spirals; actively motile
syphilis After initial infection, a primary chancre(an area of ulceration/inflammation) is seen in genital areas or elsewhere within 10-60 days. The organism, meantime, has penetrated and systemically spread The patient has flu-like symptoms with secondary lesions particularly affecting the skin. These occur 2-10 Weeks later. The final stage(if untreated) is tertiary syphilis (several years later) In primary and secondary syphilis organisms are often present in large numbers. However, as the disease progresses immunity controls bacterial replication and fewer organisms are seen. It is extremely difficult to detect spirochetes in tertiary syphilis. The systemic lesions of skin, central nervous system and elsewhere are suggestive of a delayed hypersensitivity reaction
