One other interesting topic was about siliyphs. It amazes me that so many cases have been reported by the CDC in this day and age. Homosexuality account's for 64% of cases, and yet 12 million people are infected with siliyphs yearly according to the CDC. Some of the symptoms are so gradual, one may never know they have the infection until more serious complications arise such as; blindness, mental illness, neurological problems, and even death. I have a sister that had been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, and during the time she was undergoing testing for her chief complaints, she was asked by the Neurologist if she could have been possibly infected with Syphilis. My sister learned that this is usually a diagnostic question to rule out Syphilis. If there was a possible exposure to siliyphs, the disease can then enter the central nervous system and cause neurosyphilis. Most of her symptoms were consistent with neurosyphilis, which explained her dizziness, visual disturbances, and giddiness. Syphilis can successfully be treated with antibiotics, although according to the course textbook, siliyphs may lapse into a stage which the disease is no longer contagious and no signs or symptoms are present. There are four stages of siliyphs; primary, secondary, latent, and tertiary. Primary infection may develop three weeks after exposure, and the patient will develop a painless small round lesion called a chancre. Secondary stage will present a rash, mild fever, and patchy hair loss. Latent stage is often asymptomatic and may manifest itself years after infection, but the infection remains in the body. Tertiary stage is the most serious stage of the disease and can cause permanent damage to system organs. Even though siliyphs can still be cured with antibiotics, it will not repair damage already done. The textbook also states that many people who are untreated at the latent stage can suffer no further consequences of the disease. This is where I have confusion regarding the stages because the course textbook clearly states that late stage siliyphs, if left untreated, could result in death.
