Overview
Syphilis may be classified according to the development of disease into 2 groups: congenital and acquired. Acquired syphilis may be classified further into 5 subtypes: primary, secondary, latent and tertiary syphilis.
Classification
There is no established clasification system for syphilis. However, it may be classified into following subtypes:[1][2]<ref name=abc>http://www.cdc.gov/std/stats10/app-casedef.htm Accessed on September 19, 2016>

- Manifests before 2 years of age
- Late
- Manifests after 2 years of age
Acquired
- Mode of transmission is direct contact with infectious lesion
- It may spread by sexual intercouse, touching and kissing a person having active lesions
Primary
Secondary
- Develops weeks to months after chancre
- Manifests with constitutional sypmtoms such as fever, headache, malaise, lymphadenopathy and localised or diffuse rash called condyloma lata
- Lasts 1-6 months
Latent syphilis
- Early latent
- Asymptomatic < 12 years
- Late latent
- Asymptomatic >12 years
Tertiary or gummatous syphilis
