title: A brief history of syphilis by its synonyms.
abstract: The history of a disease can be described or revisited by different main roads analyzing archival documents or rich bibliography, or studying biographies of different renowned men. Other different main roads can be apparently less important, too. These can be described as studying different therapies, renowned affected men or synonyms for diseases. We choose this latter main road studying the syphilis disease by the historical course of its numerous different synonyms during five centuries.
