Signs and symptoms
Syphilis has three stages:
- Primary stage symptoms - painless sores can develop where bacteria has entered the body.
- Secondary stage symptoms - a rash can develop along with warty growths on the genitals often with a flu-like illness.
- Latent stage symptoms - if left untreated, over time syphilis can lead to heart, joint, brain and nervous system damage.
