The first aspect: Treponema pallidum from the epidermis or mucosal damage into the body, after 3-4 weeks of incubation period after the onset. The main symptoms of primary syphilis are chancre, ulcer in genital area and swelling of inguinal lymph nodes.

The second aspect: syphilis is caused by Treponema pallidum, which is a very complex microorganism and contains many antigen substances. Under electron microscope, the outermost layer of Treponema pallidum is the outer membrane, and the inner part of the outer membrane is the cytoplasmic membrane.

Third aspect: Treponema pallidum enters the human body from the intact mucous membrane and the abraded skin, invades the nearby lymph nodes after several hours, and spreads through the blood circulation on 2-3 days. In addition to sexual contact, there are blood borne transmission, placental transmission, birth canal transmission, indirect contact transmission and so on.

matters needing attention

Syphilis is transmitted from fetus to fetus. Pregnant women with syphilis can infect the fetus through the placenta. It is generally believed that the infection occurs after 4 months of pregnancy. The duration of syphilis is more than 4 years. Women with syphilis who have not been treated have sexual contact and generally will not be infected, but they can still be infected to the fetus during pregnancy. The longer the duration of syphilis is, the less infectious it is.
