In this infectious diseases series, we explore Syphilis: its pathophysiology, stages, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment.

🦠 Understand the pathophysiology – caused by Treponema pallidum, a spirochete bacterium with systemic spread.
⚠️ Learn about the stages – primary (chancre), secondary (rash, lymphadenopathy), latent, and tertiary (neurological & cardiovascular complications).
🔍 Recognize key symptoms – painless genital ulcer, rash on palms/soles, condylomata lata, and neurosyphilis signs.
🩺 Discover essential diagnostic tools – serological tests (VDRL, RPR, TPHA, FTA-ABS) and dark-field microscopy.
💉 Review treatment options – penicillin G as the gold standard, alternative antibiotics, and Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction considerations.
