HEALTH NOTES SURRY COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT RALPH J. SYKES, M. D., Health Officer SYPHILIS—PART 3 The question has been asked many times, "Can I have syphilis and not know about it?" I will answer this question by giving a few symptoms of the disease. Syphilis is usually divided into three stages, according to the symptoms. The first sign of syphilis is a small sore at the point of contact with the spiral organism. This usually appears in from ten to thirty five days after exposure. This little sore may be painless or there may be a little discomfort associated with it. This little sore usually lasts from one to several weeks. At this time the Wasserman test would be neg ative but if a darkfield test should be made it would show the spiral organism which would be diag nostic of syphilis. The second stage of this disease often comes on with a breaking out similar to chicken-pox or measles. At this time the patient may have an elevated temperature loss of weight and appetite, sore mouth and sometimes falling hair. This stage is variable in the length of time it may last. Dr. Parron has said, "In one man out of every five and one woman out of every three all early symptoms are so mild as to be unrecogniz ed." In nearly all cases, at some time late in the disease, syphilis be comes latent and causes its de struction within the body. At this time there ate no symptoms other than a positive Wasserman. In this late stage syphilis can imi tate any disease known to inter nal medicine. Wherever th& spi rochete has settled and multiplied, it causes destruction of tissue. The blood veessels, heart, brain and bones are favorite sites. So far as preventing the spread of syphilis there is only one way and that is treating the individ uals that are infectious. Each new case of syphilis is a danger to other people that it comes in con tact with. A program should be outlined so that each new case should be reported the same as for other infectious diseases and in this way the public health of ficials could trace the source of this infection. In the Scandanavlan countries they have outlined a program that has about eliminated syphilis from their people. The outstand ing principles they work on are these: I—All cases must be reported. 2—All cases must take treat ment until discharged by a com petent physician. 3—Free treatment to all in fected. 4—lf necessary for the protec tion of others cases must be placed in a hospital. As to the treatment of this dis ease the results depend on the stage that treatment is started. If adequate treatment Is given to the Infected individual* before the blood test or Washerman becomes positive this disease can be cured in 86% of all cases. But If one waits a short while until the Was sermans becomes po.iltive we can cure only 64% of all cases, If one waits until the latent stage when there are no other symptoms other than a positive Wasermann the best treatment produces sat isfactory results in less than one half of the Cases. A person that is infected with syphilis should receive twenty doses of an arsenical and twenty doses of bismuth before they will be rendered permanently non-in fectious. These treatments should be given once a week. For a cure a person that is infected should have at least seventy doses of bis unsafe guide when to stop treat and late cases differ and so does the individual case at certain j times. If we can free our minds of the! old idea that syphilis is the just reward of sin and discuss and deal with it as we would any other highly infectious disease we can conquer this program. This must be our next plague to go and this is one contribution we know how to make toward a safe and hygienic world for our friends and cliildren to live in. | ZEPHYR Rev. E. G.
