Syphilis is a highly prevalent sexually transmitted disease caused by infection with the bacterium Treponema pallidum. Usually sexually, mother-to-child and blood-born, syphilis can affect all tissues and organs in the late stage, which can be life-threatening.

Intimate contact transmission: This is the main mode of transmission of syphilis, which is contracted by intimately engaging in intimate acts with people infected with syphilis, contracting Treponema pallidum.
Blood-borne transmission: Syringes or transfusion equipment used by syphilis patients who have not been thoroughly sterilized, leading to infection.
Mother-to-child transmission: Pregnant women infected with syphilis infect their fetus through the placenta.
Indirect contact transmission: Infection occurs when people with syphilis use daily necessities such as towels, bathtubs, and clothing that have not been thoroughly disinfected.
