Context:

  • Syphilis transmission occurs through sexual contact.
  • In France, syphilis is concentrated in high-risk, disadvantaged populations.
  • English terminology 'early syphilis' is replacing French terms for primary and secondary stages.

Purpose:

  • To outline the current epidemiology and clinical presentation of syphilis in France.
  • To describe diagnostic methods, including clinical signs and serological tests.
  • To emphasize treatment efficacy and the need for vigilance in specific patient groups.

Summary:

  • Clinical diagnosis of syphilis relies on identifying chancre induration and secondary skin rashes.
  • Serological confirmation involves Treponema pallidum haemagglutination assay (TPHA) and Venereal Diseases Research Laboratory (VDRL) tests.
