What Are the Treatment Options for Syphilis in Oregon?
Understanding Syphilis and Its Treatment
Syphilis is a bacterial infection caused by Treponema pallidum, primarily transmitted through sexual contact. If diagnosed early, it can be effectively cured with antibiotics, most commonly penicillin. Untreated syphilis can lead to severe health problems, including neurological and cardiovascular issues.
How Is Syphilis Diagnosed?
Diagnosis involves blood tests such as rapid plasma reagin (RPR) or venereal disease research laboratory (VDRL) tests. Healthcare providers also perform physical examinations and may use microscopy or other laboratory techniques. Early detection is key to successful treatment.
Available Treatment Options in Oregon
Standard Antibiotic Therapy
The primary treatment for syphilis is intramuscular penicillin injections. The dosage and duration depend on the stage of infection:
- Primary, secondary, and early latent syphilis: Single dose of penicillin G.
- Late latent or tertiary syphilis: Multiple doses over several weeks.
Patients allergic to penicillin may receive doxycycline or tetracycline, but penicillin remains the preferred option.
Follow-Up and Monitoring
Blood tests are repeated periodically to ensure the infection has been cleared. Patients should abstain from sexual activity until treatment completion and follow-up confirms cure.
