The rise in cases is something sexual health practitioners working on the frontline have grown familiar with health nursing in it was quite rare to see primary syphilis even in a city centre clinic says Jodie Crossman cochair of the STI Foundation in the UK where syphilis rates jumped . between and . Now most citybased clinics will see at least two or three patients per day attending for treatment. The infection is caused by a bacterium called Treponema pallidum and symptoms are divided into four stages. The earliest is characterised by a painless sore at the site of contact or a rash. An intramuscular Mobile App Development Service dose of penicillin is considered to be the most effective way of treating the infection. Left untreated however syphilis can lead to longterm neurological and cardiovascular diseases. Watching the epidemic unfold in the US from across the border in Canada is Isaac Bogoch an infectious diseases clinician and researcher at the University of Toronto. This is the trend thats being seen in multiple countries around the world he says. Its very concerning because generally syphilis is very easy to treat and treatment is widely available. So a lot of this is reflective of a breakdown in public healthcare.
