Symptoms of Syphilis

• There are four different stages of Syphilis

• Finally the last stage is called the Tertiary
  Stage

First Stage Primary Stage

• This stage is normally marked by a single sore,
  called a chancre, but there may be multiple
  sores.
• The time between when you become infected and
  your first sore can range from 10 to 90 days
• The sore is usually firm, round, small and
  painless. The sore last about 3-6 weeks and heals
  without treatment, however if not treated it can
  progress to the second stage

Secondary Stage

• This stage typically starts out with a rash that
  normally doesnt itch
• The rash is generally marked by a red or
  reddish-brown penny sized sores over any area of
  your body, including your palms and soles

  glands, sore throat, patchy hair loss, headaches,
  weight loss, muscle aches and fatigue. The
  symptoms will go away but if not treated it will
  progress to yet another stage.

Latent Stage

• In some people a period called latent syphilis
  occurs. This stage may follow the secondary
  stage.
• During the late stage no symptoms occur or are
  present.
• Signs and symptoms may never return or the
  disease may progress to the final and last stage
  called the Tertiary stage.

Tertiary Stage

• This is the final and deadliest stage were no
  symptoms occur or are present. Some people say
  its like a silent killer.

  vessels, liver, bones and joints.
• The damage may be serious enough to cause death
  years after the original infection.
