Acquired syphilis, secondary syphilis, tertiary syphilis

Condition analysis:
It usually takes more then one shot to be cleared. Did you have it or was the shot to prevent it? It can be passed to the baby from you if you had it. Of course if you didn't and its now passed to you, you can then pass it to the baby. Its a whole different answer depending on the facts. Your best bet is to see your gyne and take his advice.

Instructions:
1. Acquired Syphilis:
The infection is usually acquired from a sexual partner who is in the infectious stage (which usually lasts up to 2 years) of this disease. In the first or primary stage of syphilis, a painless chancre or punched-out ulcer appears at the site of infection, within a month after exposure. Any fluid oozing out of the chancre is highly contagious. Regional lymphadenopathy occurs.

2. Secondary Syphilis:
The secondary stage sets in after nearly two months and is characterized by a generalided rash on the skin and mucous membranes, which is coppery red in appearance and non-itching. The rash is symmetrical, pleomorphic, roseolar, macular, papular and pustular. Papular lesions, on friction become condylomas, as on anal margin, axillae and unsupported breasts. A highly infectious wart-like lesion develops on the genitals and painless punched out ulcers develop in the mouth. Severe symmetrical pain is experienced in all joints without objective swelling and there is a night-time increase in pain. These are also accompanied by fever, malaise, enlarged lymph nodes, etc, which usually subside on their own, within a month

3. Tertiary Syphilis:
In the third or tertiary stage, the disease progresses silently within the internal organs without manifesting in any external signs or symptoms. This stage can actually persist for nearly 30 years. In this stage, nodular lesions called syphilitic gummata develop under the skin, in the mucous membranes or within the internal organs such as the liver, heart, kidneys, bones and other visceral organs, ultimately resulting in death.
