• Generalized Lymphadenopathy

  Generalized lymphadenopathy is uncommon, since the inoculum is small. See the image below. Primary stage lesions. Secondary stage This stage usually consists of macerated, eroded patches on the lips, the tongue, and the tonsils. [emedicine.medscape.com]

  Patches on the mucous membranes, angular stomatitis, nonitchy skin eruptions, and generalized lymphadenopathy are the most important early manifestations. [genome.jp]

  These include low-grade fever, malaise, and generalized lymphadenopathy. Some disability may result from involvement of palms and soles. Periosteitis and rarefaction are more extreme in children. [drmhijazy.com]

  Clinical manifestations include slight fever, generalized lymphadenopathy, malaise, and a mucocutaneous rash. The rash initially appears on the palms and soles and eventually spreads to other areas. [intranet.tdmu.edu.ua]

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

• Eczema

  During the early stages, features in endemic syphilis resemble a number of dermatoses, mainly eczema, mycoses, psoriasis, leprosy, herpes simplex, perlèche, and condylomata acuminata. [emedicine.medscape.com]

  The later stages of either disease may be mistaken for syphilis, fungal infection, mycobacterial infection, psoriasis and eczema. [doi.org]

  Pintids slowly increase, merge with each other, forming plaques with severe itching, with small-toothed peeling (reminiscent of trichophytosis, numular eczema). [en.medicine-guidebook.com]

• Cutaneous Manifestation

  Like venereal syphilis, they have a chronic relapsing course and have prominent cutaneous manifestations. Recently, several cases of imported yaws and endemic syphilis have been described in Europe. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  The cutaneous manifestations of congenial syphilis tend to appear during the first few weeks or months of life. Syphilis is transmitted from the mother to the fetus via the placenta. The infection is therefore prenatal rather than congenital. [drmhijazy.com]

  Early Congenital Syphilis  Cutaneous manifestations appear most commonly during 3rd week  Snuffles (a form of Rhinitis) is most frequent, bloody drainage, ulcers may develop, later septal perfs  30-60% of infants develop cutaneous lesions similar to [slideshare.net]

The responsible spirochaete is readily identifiable on sight in a microscope as a treponema. [4] Treatment [ edit ] It is treatable with penicillin or other antibiotics, resulting in a complete recovery. [en.wikipedia.org]

However, penicillin mass treatment campaigns were not maintained and, as a result, the disease has reemerged. [wwwnc.cdc.gov]

The introduction of mass treatment has been necessary in some areas. In a WHO survey in 2012, [8] the status of yaws was unknown in many of the countries where it had previously been known to be endemic. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Prognosis Bejel is completely curable with antibiotic treatment. Prevention The World Health Organization (WHO) has worked with many countries to prevent this and other diseases, and the number of cases has been reduced somewhat. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
