Overview
Tabes dorsalis is now very rare because syphilis is usually treated early in the disease. In 2012, the incidence of syphilis was estimated to be 6 million cases worldwide. From year 2005 to 2014, the incidence of syphilis in the United States increased from 2.9 to 6.3 cases/100,000/year. The rate of reported cases increased by 15.1% between 2013 and 2014 in the United States. In 2012, the prevalence of syphilis was estimated to be approximately 18 million cases in men and women aged 15-29 worldwide. Among infected patients with Treponema pallidum only 3 to 5% develop neurosyphilis and only 5% of those individuals develop tabes dorsalis, 10–20 years later.
Epidemiology of syphilis and tabes dorsalis
Tabes dorsalis is now very rare because syphilis is usually treated early in the disease.
- In 2012, the incidence of syphilis was estimated to be 6 million cases worldwide.
- From year 2005 to 2014, the incidence of syphilis in the United States increased from 2.9 to 6.3 cases/100,000/year.
- The rate of reported cases increased by 15.1% between 2013 and 2014 in the United States.[1]
- Syphilis incidence increased in every region of the Untied States in 2014, with the highest rate in the West and lowest rate in the Midwest.
- In 2012, the prevalence of syphilis was estimated to be approximately 18 million cases in men and women aged 15-29 worldwide.[2]
- The incidence and prevalence of syphilis may be affected by age, gender, race, sexual behavior and geographical distribution.
- Among infected patients with Treponema pallidum only 3 to 5% develop neurosyphilis and only 5% of those individuals develop tabes dorsalis, 10–20 years later.[1][3][4][5][6][7][8]
