摘要

Syphilis is a multi-stage disease caused by infection with Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum (T. pallidum). Syphilis is usually transmitted by contact with an infected sexual partner or by passage from an infected pregnant woman to her fetus (congenital syphilis). Globally, an estimated six million new cases of syphilis occur each year in persons aged 15 49 years. In 2016, 661,000 cases of congenital syphilis resulted in over 200,000 fetal and neonatal deaths [1]. Because there is no vaccine to prevent syphilis, early diagnosis and treatment of infected persons and their contacts are key to syphilis control. In the pre-antibiotic era, syphilis patients were treated with arsenicals, toxic compounds that required prolonged therapy that often led to treatment failure. A major breakthrough occurred in 1943 when Mahoney and colleagues reported that penicillin could cure syphilis [2]. Although their initial studies were performed in rabbits because T. pallidum was not yet cultivable, it quickly became apparent that penicillin was effective for treatment of patients with early and late syphilis, pregnant women with syphilis and infants with congenital syphilis. Within a few years, widespread use of penicillin, in conjunction with sex education and improved diagnostic tests, resulted in dramatic decreases in the incidence of syphilis. However, syphilis re-emerged becoming an endemic disease with periodic fluctuations and sporadic outbreaks [2,3]. Fortunately, T. pallidum has remained susceptible to penicillin, which is still the preferred treatment for all stages of syphilis [4]. A single intramuscular (IM) injection of 2¢4 million units (MU) of benzathine penicillin G (BPG) is recommended for early syphilis, while an IM injection of 2¢4 MU of BPG given once weekly for three weeks is recommended for late syphilis. Because BPG does not achieve a sufficient concentration in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), aqueous penicillin G (18 24 MU per day) given intravenously (IV) for 10 14 days is the recommended treatment for neurosyphilis. There are no proven alternatives to BPG for pregnant women with syphilis. Those who are penicillin-allergic must be desensitized and treated with BPG.
