How is Syphilis transfer?

The transmission of syphilis occurs mainly through sexual contact. Bacteria that cause syphilis, treponema pallidum are often present in the sores in the mouth or on the genitals during certain stages of the disease. These bacteria can be transmitted and therefore transmit the infection of syphilis, others through direct contact with small breaks in their skin or mucosal membranes. Although less common, the transmission of syphilis can also occur intense or through blood transfusions. Rather than being caused by direct contact with ulcers, as well as sexual transmission, these types of transmission are transmitted by blood, which has been infected with bacteria treponema pallidum .

There are four main phases of Syphilis infection. The transmission of sexual syphilis occurs primarily in the first and second phases, when the infected person often has sore or lesions on his genitalia or in the mouth. These ulcers and lesions often contain high quantities treponema pbacteria allidum ,that can be handed over to someone whose broken or irritated skin or mucous membranes, such as bakets found in the mouth and genitals, come into contact with them. The latter stages of the disease, known as latent and tertiary syphilis, are less likely to be associated with sexual transmission, because infectious ulcers and lesions are less common.

While most of the transmission of syphilis occurs in a sexual way, it may sometimes occur congenital or before birth. This form of transmission of syphilis occurs when a pregnant mother has a bacteria in his blood treponema pallidum , a condition that may be present in all stages of syphilis infection. While the pregnant mother and her unborn child do not share the same blood, their circulatory systems are connected through the placenta, an organ that gives the child oxygen and the nutrients it needs. In addition to being a permeplacent that is capable of nutrients and toysIt is also permeable for bacteria treponema pallidum , so it can move from the blood of the mother to the developing child.

Transmission of syphilis can also occur by a blood route when a person receives a blood transfusion from an infected donor. As with congenital Syphilis transmission, this can happen at any stage of infection. In many developed countries, this is relatively rare because donated blood is usually tested for syphilis than transfused to another person. Nevertheless, because there is a certain risk, they are individuals who are at high risk or who are treated for syphilis, it is usually recommended that they do not manage blood until they have a blood test confirming the absence of infection.
