Abstract

Sifilis danas nije jedan od vodećih javnozdravstvenih problema, kao što je bio na kraju 19. i početkom 20. stoljeća. Najveći izazovi vezani za sifilis s kojima se današnja medicina susreće su koinfekcija virusom humane imunodeficijencije, te posljedice kongenitalne infekcije. U kliničkoj slici sifilisa razlikujemo tri stadija bolesti, a najvažnije je ne zaboraviti kako je sifilis bolest koja se prezentira veoma različitim kliničkim slikama i diferencijalno dijagnostički uvijek treba razmišljati o sifilisu kao o mogućoj dijagnozi kod klinički nejasnih stanja. Ni u jednoj infektivnoj bolesti serologija nema takav značaj kao u otkrivanju i praćenju sifilisa, a u liječenju lijek prvog izbora još uvijek je penicilin, neovisno o stadiju bolesti.

Abstract (english)

Today syphilis is not one of the leading public health problems, as it was at the end of the 19th and early 20th centuries. The biggest challenges associated with syphilis today are HIV coinfection and the consequences of congenital syphilis. Definition of stages is clinical, but most importantly one should never forget that syphilis is referred to as the great imitator and that the disease is presented with a very broad clinical palette. Serological testing is the most common method for screening, diagnosis, and follow-up of treatment. In treatment drug of the first choice is still penicillin, regardless of the stage of the disease.
