- Description
- The availability of penicillin gave hope that syphilis could be eradicated. However, syphilis still re1nains endemic in the developing world, while outbreaks continue in industrialised nations despite screening, available testing and effective treatment. While historically a sexually transmitted infection (STI) of the heterosexual community, the recent outbreaks in both Australia and New Zealand, as in other high-income communities, are almost entirely confined to homosexually active men. In developing nations, heterosexual spread and mother-to-child transmission continue to drive infection.
