Prevention From Syphilis

This is an infection as old as the world. Although it is known by mankind for hundreds of years, it is still in people's lives, unfortunately. Ignorance and indifference has led to the Persistence of the disease sexually transmitted diseases. Syphilitic infection is of bacterial origin. Called Treponema pallidum bacteria produce. About this nasty infection, a few things. First, you should know that the most common way is transmission through sexual contact. Direct contact with the lesions, the infection during sexual contact is the main cause. It can also be used on other routes. Direct contact between a healthy individual and an infected person's saliva, the healthy person contracting the disease. Any contact with other bodily fluids such as seminal fluid, vaginal secretions of an infected person will definitely lead to infection. However, there is a nonsexual way the procurement of the disease, as reflected by biting, kissing, or through contaminated instruments or objects of any kind, the probability of transmission is high, as the statistics show that the risk of contamination, after having sexual contact with an infected person is as high as 30-50%. A single touch and the bacteria might be spreading. If we may say so, the debut of the disease is very "discreet" and it has a slow but certain evolution. If untreated, this terrible disease can have dramatic end of evolution. Today, the blood is tested before a blood transfusion of any kind This means that the risk of infection by blood transfusion should be zero. It never hurts to be extra careful, does it? Another means of transmission of syphilis from mother to newborn. In the event the pregnant woman is infected, it could transmit the bacteria their son or daughter. This type of pollution is a congenital transmission. As regards the manifestation of this disease is concerned, it materialized in more than one way, depending on the length of time that has passed since the exposure therefore contamination with the virus. There are many stages in the development of the disease, and it evolves from bad to worse along the years. The incubation period of the bacteria, covering the period after exposure to the infection, no clinical symptoms or biological rule. The incubation period can be up to ninety days in syphilitic infection. The secondary phase leads to the disappearance of symptoms initial phase, and it may take up to two years. During this period, the bacteria affects all of the human body fluids, including blood, vaginal secretions, seminal fluid, saliva, and the infected person is highly contagious for the other way around. To test the blood to reveal if there is an infection or not, contributes to the pursuit of the bacteria. The final diagnosis is made by microscopic analysis of the secretions from a primary or secondary lesion or other serological tests. Syphilis can be cured, as long as the treatment starts immediately after the exposure. Antibiotics are usually recommended, but when treatment begins when the disease has developed, it may cause permanent damage to the affected institutions.
