Syphilis

It is a disease that spreads and is not common among people.
Because it is a dirty disease that is hidden by secrecy

Infectious diseases are those transmitted through the air and by coughing. And by sneezing. Among the infectious diseases are those transmitted through water, milk, and food.

Some of them are transmitted by touching a person. A person. Among the diseases are those that are transmitted through sexual contact, from man to woman, from woman to man, and in the case of homosexuality, from one sex to the same sex.

These diseases are many, including the disease of this hadith:
Syphilis.

- Syphilis is distressed;

The syphilis microbe is a microbe from an order called Spirochaete, which means erased hair. This is a name that indicates the shape of the microbe. It is a thin, spiral-shaped thread, with a length of 6 to 14 thousandths of a millimeter. It is also recognized by its special movements in preparations made from the primary disease ulcers. Or secondary through the microscope.

This microorganism cannot withstand drought, so if it dries up
This is why it is transmitted only by direct touch.

- Syphilis has three stages:

This disease has three stages: a first stage, a second stage,
And a third.
The second stage begins within a few months of the first stage.
As for the third stage, many years may pass before
Its occurrence.

- The first stage of syphilis;

In this case, a solid ulcer appears about a month after exposure to the infection. In men, the ulcer usually appears on the penis, and in females, it usually appears on the labia of the vulva or on the cervix. In this latter case, the owner does not notice it.
The ulcer may appear on the lip, tongue, tonsil, or nipple, although this is rarer. As for the ulcer, it is firm and painless - about a centimeter in diameter - and serum comes out of it. In this serum, the examiner identifies the disease bacteria under a microscope with a dark floor.

The ulcer is accompanied by enlargement of the closest local lymph nodes, which are those in the hip between the thigh and the abdomen. Whether this is a woman or a man.

- The second stage of syphilis;

The disease enters this stage as a result of the spread of the pathogen throughout the rest of the body's tissues, and this reaction may appear in the form of a severe headache, fever, sore throat, ulcers in the mouth and genitals, a rash on the skin, and swollen lymph nodes.

The skin and mucous ulcers of this second stage are highly contagious.

The famous test known as the Farman test
Wassernmann always gives positive results.

However, this reaction is often much milder than this, so that it passes and the owner or friend does not notice it. This situation calms down in any case after a few weeks, while the body gains some immunity to the disease from this disease.

But the disease continues to progress unless it is treated.

- The third stage of syphilis;

After about four years, for example, from the first infection, if the infection is left untreated, the disease becomes fearless in being transmitted, even through sexual intercourse. What remains of the distressed person in the body at that time is small, but it is ready to attack at any time. It may cause harm to other organs. The aorta, the greatest artery of the heart, may be affected by the disease... and serious damage may occur to the central nervous system. If an infected woman gives birth to a child in the next ten years, the child may be infected with the disease, and the disease may remain inherited.

- Treatment of syphilis;

This is up to the doctor.
But there is no harm in saying that its causes are penicillin derivatives given intravenously. Or Tetracycline for those who are allergic to penicillin.

However, the patient must be placed under observation for about 5 years, seeing a doctor once every two weeks, and then the period is prolonged until it becomes about every six months.

What is mentioned and praised regarding the use of penicillin as a treatment for syphilis is that penicillin was used to treat many diseases. Her distress began to quickly retreat in the face of penicillin attacks, but she soon became accustomed to it and developed immunity to it, except for syphilis, as penicillin continued to maintain its power in the decisive treatment of syphilis. This is what specialists researching this disease attest to. They confirm this by saying that there are cases of people who were infected with syphilis, recovered, and then the disease returned to them. Upon examination in these cases, it became clear beyond doubt that they were exposed to a new infection that infected them.

- A vaccine that protects against syphilis;

Researchers are finding this way.
To this day, they have not found a vaccine that protects against
This particular disease occurs before infection, that is, what immunizes a person against its bacteria.
But they have had some success in finding a vaccine for a similar bacterium that infects rabbits. They are continuing their research until they create conditions for it that make rabbits completely immune to it, and then they are trying it in humans.

The obvious objection, of course, is: How can he be protected by it?
Is rabbit syphilis different from human syphilis?

The current response: The smallpox vaccine is taken from cowpox, and is for human immunization. This is because the substances that combat these similar diseases may have similar levels of immunity in terms of immunity.

- This poses a danger to morals;

It's a big risk.
We are warned of the danger of the syphilis vaccine. What prevents a man from slipping into filthy, immoral vice is the fear of infection. If he fortifies himself without her, who knows what will happen after that?

Statistics have shown that in the United States, one million cases of syphilis are presented for treatment every year, of which 300,000 cases are in male and female adolescents. There is no immunity from this disease, so what if men and women are immune to it!?

(A picture of the syphilis bacterium, as seen through a microscope with a dark ground behind it. If you looked closely at it, you would find that it has a spiral structure. Scientists have been unable to this day to culture this bacterium in a test tube, so they were unable to search for a vaccine for it. So they took a bacterium close to it to make a vaccine from it.) .
