| |
| | rowspan="2" |
| |
| * Syphilis is caused by a [[spirochete]], [[Treponema pallidum|''Treponema pallidum'']].
| |
|
| |
|
| * It has an average incubation period of 3 - 12 weeks.
| | ==References== |
| * Spirochete penetrates intact mucous membrane or microscopic dermal abrasions and rapidly enters systemic circulation with the [[central nervous system]] being invaded during the early phase of infection.
| | {{Reflist|2}} |
| * The histopathological hallmark findings are endarteritis and plasma cell-rich infiltrates reflecting a delayed-type of hypersensitivity reaction to the spirochete.
| |
| | rowspan="2" |
| |
| '''Primary syphilis'''
| |
| * Mononuclear leukocytic infiltration, [[macrophages]], and [[lymphocytes]]
| |
| * Swelling and proliferation of small blood vessels

| '''Secondary syphilis'''
| |
| * Swelling and dilatation of blood vessels in the [[dermis]]
| |
| * Epidermal [[hyperplasia]] and neutrophilic infiltration
| |
| * Inflammatory cell infiltrate, predominantly [[plasma cell]]
| |
| '''Tertiary syphilis'''
| |
| * Small vessel inflammation ([[endarteritis obliterans]])

|
| * A presumptive diagnosis of syphilis is possible with the use of two types of serologic tests.

| :* Nontreponemal tests (e.g., [[VDRL|venereal disease research laboratory (VDRL)]] and [[RPR|rapid plasma reagent test]]) and
| | {{WS}} |
| :* Treponemal tests (e.g., [[FTA-ABS|fluorescent treponemal antibody absorbed (FTA-ABS) tests]], the ''T. pallidum'' passive particle agglutination (TP-PA) assay, various [[Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)|enzyme immunoassays]], and [[Chemiluminescence|chemiluminescence immunoassays]]). | | [[Category: (name of the system)]] |

| |'''Brucellosis'''
| |
| |[[humans]] could be infected by eating undercook meat or raw [[Dairy product|dairy]] products, inhalation of the [[bacteria]] and direct contact of bacteria with [[skin]] [[wounds]] or [[Mucous membranes|mucous membranes.]] Following transmission, [[white blood cells]] phagocyte the pathogen and transports it via hematologic or [[Lymphatic system|lymphatic route]] to different organs specially to those of the [[reticuloendothelial system]].
