~~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).~~

*T. pallidum is a spirochete, a spiral-shaped bacterium.

~~The primary stage classically presents with~~ a ~~single chancre (a firm, painless, non~~-~~itchy skin ulceration) but there may be multiple sores~~.

*It is the cause of syphilis, including any of it's acute, chronic and congenital forms, involving any organ(s).

~~In secondary~~ syphilis ~~a diffuse rash occurs~~, ~~which frequently involves the palms~~ of ~~the hands~~ and ~~soles of the feet. There may also be sores in the mouth or vagina.~~

~~In latent syphilis, which can last for years~~, ~~there are few or no symptoms.~~

~~In tertiary syphilis there are gummas~~ (~~soft non-cancerous growths~~)~~, neurological, or heart symptoms.~~

~~Syphilis has been known as "the great imitator" as it may cause symptoms similar to many other diseases~~.

~~incl acute, chronic or congenital; any organ(s)~~
