What meaning is syphilis helicoid antibody positive

Syphilis is a chronic and systemic infectious disease caused by Treponema pallidum. So syphilis is contagious. The mode of transmission can be divided into: (1) sexual contact (which is the main way of transmission) (2) blood transmission (3) mother to child transmission.

Primary syphilis: the landmark clinical feature is hard chancre; secondary syphilis: it is characterized by secondary syphilid, with systemic symptoms, and occurs or overlaps after the disappearance of hard chancre, with swelling of superficial lymph nodes; tertiary syphilis: secondary syphilis + skin and mucous membrane damage, near joint nodules.

For the treatment of syphilis, there are its treatment principles: emphasis on diagnosis, early treatment, regular course of treatment, adequate dose; regular clinical and laboratory follow-up after treatment, and the same treatment with sexual partners. Penicillin, such as water penicillin, procaine penicillin, benzathine penicillin and so on, is the first choice. Those allergic to penicillin can choose tetracycline, erythromycin, etc.
