A bacterial infection usually spread by sexual contact that starts as a painless sore.

Syphilis develops in stages, and symptoms vary with each stage.

The first stage involves a painless sore on the genitals, rectum, or mouth. After the initial sore heals, the second stage is characterized by a rash. Then, there are no symptoms until the final stage which may occur years later. This final stage can result in damage to the brain, nerves, eyes, or heart.

Syphilis is treated with penicillin. Sexual partners should also be treated.
