Overview

Syphilis may be classified according to the development of disease into 2 groups: congenital and acquired. Acquired syphilis may be classified further into 5 subtypes: primary, secondary, latent and tertiary syphilis.

Classification

There is no established clasification system for syphilis. However, it may be classified into following subtypes:[1][2]<ref name=abc>http://www.cdc.gov/std/stats10/app-casedef.htm Accessed on September 19, 2016>

Congenital

  • Early
  • Manifests before 2 years of age
  • Late
  • Manifests after 2 years of age

Acquired

  • Mode of transmission is direct contact with infectious lesion
  • It may spread by sexual intercouse, touching and kissing a person having active lesions

Primary

  • Manifests as papule which breaks to form painless chancre
  • Lasts for 3 to 6 weeks

Secondary

Latent syphilis

  • Early latent
  • Asymptomatic < 12 years
  • Late latent
  • Asymptomatic >12 years

Tertiary or gummatous syphilis

  • Cardiovascular
  • CNS
  • Asymptomatic
  • Meningiovascular
  • Tabes dorsalis
  • Parenchymatous
  • Other
