Syphilis is an infectious disease caused by the syphilis spirochete, and adults are mainly infected through unclean sex. The proliferation of syphilis spirochetes is rapid, and clinically it requires early, adequate, standardized, and full course of treatment. Incomplete treatment may lead to syphilis spirochetes entering the latent stage, resulting in late-stage syphilis.

The dosage of drugs in the treatment of syphilis must be enough, the medication must be standardized, after scientific and reasonable treatment, generally can be completely eradicated.
