Latent syphilis (latent syphilis) occurs when there is a history of syphilis infection, no clinical symptoms or clinical symptoms have disappeared, there is no positive sign except Syphilis Serological positive, and the cerebrospinal fluid examination is normal. The occurrence of latent syphilis is related to the body's strong immunity or insufficient drug treatment dose to temporarily inhibit TP.

Or patients with strong immunity, did not appear or have appeared very insignificant clinical symptoms (such as cervical chancre), after no clinical manifestations, only syphilis serum test positive, are latent syphilis.

Finally, the occurrence of Treponema pallidum mainly depends on the patient's own immunity, therapeutic drugs and the outcome of the fight between Treponema pallidum. When the body's immune function is normal, or irregular use of drugs related to the treatment of syphilis, has produced a certain therapeutic effect, when the body's TP is inhibited, it shows latent syphilis, which can last for several months or for the whole life of the infected person, 60% - 70% of the untreated patients can be latent and asymptomatic for life; when the body's health is poor, and the immune function is reduced, TP can take the opportunity to move in the body and recover Tissue damage will turn into dominant syphilis.
