Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. It can also be transmitted through blood transfusion or from mother to child during pregnancy. Syphilis progresses in stages and can have various symptoms, but it primarily affects the genital area, skin, and mucous membranes. If left untreated, syphilis can lead to serious complications, affecting the cardiovascular system, nervous system, and other organs. | New Life Health Foods
