Early and congenital syphilis.
The incidence of infectious syphilis is increasing in the United States, particularly among women. Not surprisingly, congenital syphilis rates have also risen. These have led to a rekindling of interest in the manifestations and treatment of primary, secondary, and latent syphilis. Coinfection with human immunodeficiency virus may alter clinical presentations and response to therapy.
