Fungal skin infections are commonly affect the outer layer of the skin, nails and hair. Most of the fungi causing infections are usually dermatophytes (tinea), yeast (candida) and molds
Chlamydia is a common sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by the bacterium, Chlamydia trachomatis, which can damage a woman's reproductive organs. Even though symptoms of chlamydia are usually mild or absent, serious complications that cause irreversible damage, including infertility, can occur "silently" before a woman ever recognizes a problem. Chlamydia also can cause discharge from the penis of an infected man.
How common is chlamydia?Chlamydia is the most frequently reported bacterial sexually transmitted disease in the United States. In 2010, 1,307,893 chlamydial infections were reported to CDC from 50 states and the District of Columbia. Under-reporting is substantial because most people with chlamydia are not aware of their infections and do not seek testing. Also, testing is not often done if patients are treated for their symptoms. An estimated 2.8 million infections occur annually in the U.S. Women are frequently re-infected if their sex partners are not treated.

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum. The signs and symptoms of syphilis vary depending in which of the four stages it presents (primary, secondary, latent, and tertiary).
Treponema is a genus of spiral-shaped bacteria. The major treponeme species of human pathogens is Treponema pallidum, whose subspecies are responsible for diseases such as syphilis, bejel, and yaws.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

3. Introduction
• Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum is a spiral-
shaped, Gram positive , highly mobile bacterium.
• Syphilis is transmitted primarily by sexual contact or during
pregnancy from a mother to her baby; the spirochete is able to
pass through intact mucous membranes or compromised skin
4. Introduction
• Syphilis is caused by T. pallidum, a spirochete that
cannot survive for long outside the human body. T.
pallidum enters through the mucous membranes or
skin, reaches the regional lymph nodes within
hours, and rapidly spreads throughout the body
• Infection is usually transmitted by sexual contact
(including genital, orogenital, and anogenital) but
may be transmitted nonsexually by skin contact or
transplacentally, causing congenital syphilis
PRESENTATION TITLE 4
5. Stages of Syphilis
• There are four stages of Syphilis
• Primary
• Secondary
• Latent
• tertiary
PRESENTATION TITLE 5
7. Types of lessions
7
Primary stage
• During the primary stage of syphilis, one or
more sores (chancres) form at the site where
the bacteria entered the body. This often
occurs within 3 weeks of exposure but can
range from 10 to 90 days. A person is highly
contagious during the primary stage and can
easily pass the infection to others.
• A chancre often appears in the genital area. But sores may also
occur in or near the anus or in or nkear the mouth. The sores are
usually painless, so they may go unnoticed if they're inside the
vagina or the rectum.
8. Types of lessions
• The chancre usually lasts for 3 to 6 weeks. It heals without
treatment and may leave a thin scar. But even though the chancre
has healed, the person still has syphilis. They can still pass the
infection to others.
• Secondary stage
During secondary syphilis, a person is highly
contagious. A rash appears 2 to 12 weeks after
the chancre develops and sometimes before it
heals. The rash often forms over the body,
often on the palms of the hands and the soles
of the feet.
PRESENTATION TITLE 8
9. PRESENTATION TITLE 9
Types of lessions
• The rash usually consists of reddish brown, small, solid, flat or
raised skin sores that are less than 2 cm (0.8 in.) across. But the
rash may look like other more common skin problems.
• There may be small, open sores on mucous membranes. The
sores may contain pus. Or there may be moist sores that look like
warts (called condyloma lata).
• In people who have dark skin, the sores may be a lighter colour
than the skin around them.
10. Type of lessions
• Latent (hidden) stage
• Without treatment, an infected person will
progress to the latent (hidden) stage. During
this stage, the bacteria that cause syphilis
stay in the body without causing symptoms.
This time with no symptoms usually happens
after the secondary-stage rash goes away.
PRESENTATION TITLE 10
11. Types of lessions
• Tertiary (late) stage
• In gummatous syphilis, granulomatous lesions called gummas
develop in the skin, bones, and organs. These lesions are a result
of inflammation and contain different types of immune cells
surrounded by fibrous tissue.
PRESENTATION TITLE 11
15. Diagnosis
• Microscopic observation
• Since T. pallidum cannot be grown in culture, the direct
diagnosis is obtained by the detection with darkfield
microscopy of the spirochaetes in fluid or smears procured
from a lesion. Indeed, the T. pallidum is a corkscrew, spiral-
shaped organism that is 6–15 µm long and 0.1–0.2 µm wide,
thus it cannot be visualised by direct microscopy and
requires darkfield microscopy.
PRESENTATION TITLE 15
16. Diagnosis
• Histopathology
• The histopathological features reported for the
primary syphilis lesion are nonspecific and limited by
the ulcerative nature of the lesion itself, including
ulceration, exocytosis, dense perivascular infiltrate of
lymphocytes and plasma cells, and endothelial cell
proliferation.28 A bioptic specimen is more commonly
obtained from papular/macular lesions of secondary
syphilis.29 The range of histopathologic findings that
can be exhibited is wide, and include neutrophils in
the stratum corneum, irregular/psoriasiform
acanthosis, effacement of the rete ridges/elongated
rete ridges, vacuolar interface with vacuolar
predominance/with equal numbers of lymphocytes
and vacuoles, endothelial swelling, presence of

17. Diagnosis
Serologic tests
There are 2 different types of serologic tests classified
based on the type of antigen the antibodies are directed
against. Treponemal tests detect antibody to T
pallidumproteins. Nontreponemal tests detect antibodies
directed against lipoidal antigens, damaged host cells, and
possibly from treponemes. Both tests are used to confirm
the infection and determine whether the disease is active.
PRESENTATION TITLE 17
18. Nontreponemal tests
Syphilitic infection leads to the production of
nonspecific antibodies that react to cardiolipin. This
reaction is the foundation of “nontreponemal” assays
such as the VDRL (Venereal Disease Research
Laboratory) test and Rapid Plasma Reagin (RPR) test.
Both these test are flocculation type tests that use
an antigen-antibody interaction. The complexes remain
suspended in solution and therefore visible due to
the lipid based antigens.[3][4]
All nontreponemal tests measure immunoglobulins G
(IgG) and M (IgM) anti-lipid antibodies formed by the
host in response both to lipoidal material released from
damaged host cells early in infection and to lipid from
the cell surfaces of the treponeme itself.
PRESENTATION TITLE 18
19. Treponemal tests
, also called confirmatory tests (FTA, TP-PA, EIA), detect
antibodies specific to syphilis. Treponemal antibodies will
appear earlier after acute infection than non-treponemal
antibodies. The antibodies detected in these tests usually
remain detectable for life even after successful treatment.
Thus, a reactive treponemal test can indicate current or past
syphilis infection.
PRESENTATION TITLE 19
20. Dermoscopic findings
The morphology of this Biett’s collarette can be
highlighted by polarised dermoscopy, consisting of a
circular scaling edge outward-directed with moderately
adherent thick white scales. Moreover, the area inside
the ring results de-epithelised, thus monomorphic
dotted and glomerular vessels can be seen over a
diffuse, yellow/reddish background (Figure 1D).
Polarised dermoscopy can reveal Biett’s sign in dark-
phototypes skin, where the vascular structures are less
visible. In addition, dermoscopy can be very useful in
differentiating the secondary syphilis lesions from other
dermatological conditions exhibiting scaling collarettes,
including pityriasis rosea, erythema multiforme, actinic
porokeratosis, tinea corporis, erythema annulare
centrifugum, granuloma annulare, annular variants of
psoriasis, and subacute or discoid lupus
24. Primary, Secondary, and Early
Latent Syphilis
o Treatment for both primary, secondary, and early
latent syphilis consist of one administration of
benzathine penicillin G 2.4 million units
intramuscularly.
25. Late Latent Syphilis
o The treatment consists of benzathine penicillin G 2.4
million units intramuscularly once a week for 3
consecutive weeks.
PRESENTATION TITLE 25
26. Tertiary Syphilis
Neurosyphilis, otic syphilis, and ocular syphilis require
treatment with intravenous aqueous crystalline
penicillin G for 10–14 days.
