What does syphilis incubation period mean

summary

I had a one night stand with a young woman. I didn't expect that it would bring such serious consequences. I didn't feel well a short time ago. I had syphilis when I went to the hospital for examination. Let's talk about the meaning of syphilis incubation period.

What does syphilis incubation period mean

First of all: recessive syphilis, also known as latent syphilis, refers to a small number of people infected with Treponema pallidum, which can be concealed in the body for life (positive serum reaction, without symptoms and lesions), or in the second and third stages of syphilis activity, local lesions disappear and positive serum reaction.

Secondly: latent syphilis patients are still infectious. Those with a course of less than 2 years after infection are early latent syphilis. Those with a course of more than 2 years are late latent syphilis. Early latent syphilis is still infectious, and its infectivity disappears in late latent syphilis.

Finally: recessive syphilis, like ordinary syphilis, is a chronic infectious disease caused by Treponema pallidum. It is mainly due to the suppression of Treponema pallidum by a small number of people with strong immunity or due to treatment. It does not cause the disease temporarily, but it is still latent in the body of patients, waiting for the onset or transmission to others when the immunity of patients decreases.

matters needing attention

Syphilis can cause spontaneous abortion, stillbirth, irreversible congenital defects, and perinatal death. Penicillin can prevent the spread of infection in pregnant women.
