If the syphilis titer is stable, can it be left alone?

Hello everyone, I'm Dr. Chen Qi. Syphilis is a chronic systemic sexually transmitted disease caused by the bacterium pallidum pallidum that can invade almost every organ of the body and produce a wide variety of clinical manifestations. Syphilis is diagnosed by syphilis serology and non-treponemal antigen serology (rapid plasma reagin (RPR).

It is used to detect reagin (non-specific antibodies) in serum, and the titer of the RPR test result is directly proportional to the activity and infectivity of syphilis. TPPA (Treponema pallidum granule agglutination test): used to detect specific antibodies, a positive TPPA test result indicates a history of Treponema pallidum infection. A positive TPPA result is stable and unchanged for life.

In some syphilis patients, the titer will drop to a certain level and then no longer change, or even fix at a certain level for a long time, which is called "syphilis titer stabilization".

So, after the syphilis titer is stabilized, can it be left alone?

The answer is no. Even if the syphilis titer is stable, it should not be taken lightly. Because Treponema pallidum is still present in the body, it can be transmitted to others at any time. In addition, syphilis can also cause damage to various organs in the body, such as the heart, liver, kidneys, etc. Therefore, even if the syphilis titer is stable, follow-up and follow-up are required.

First, patients should continue to receive regular serological testing and clinical follow-up. This can help doctors better understand the patient's condition and effect, and adjust the plan in time. At the same time, serological testing can also help patients detect the signs of ** in time and take timely measures to carry out **.

Secondly, patients should pay attention to personal hygiene and sexual hygiene. Syphilis is mainly transmitted through sexual contact, so patients should avoid sexual contact with others or take safe measures such as using *** when they have sexual contact. In addition, personal hygiene is also important, such as keeping the ** area clean and dry.

Finally, if the patient is pregnant or gives birth during the ** period, the doctor should be informed in time, so that the doctor can formulate the appropriate ** plan and precautions according to the specific situation of the patient.

Patients should continue to receive ** and follow-up, pay attention to personal and sexual hygiene, and inform the doctor of their condition if necessary. Only in this way can the disease be better controlled and the transmission to others can be avoided. Syphilis
