The pathogenesis of syphilis: the Great Mimicker, revisited

17 Dec 2005

Abstract excerpt

Syphilis is a chronic sexually transmitted infection caused by Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum. Its protean clinical presentations earned it the name of the 'Great Mimicker'. Understanding of disease pathogenesis and how host-pathogen interactions influence the course of disease have been compromised by the facts that the organism cannot be grown in vitro and, as an exclusively human pathogen, inferences...
