Syphilis
The stages of infection and why it is called the great imitator.
Empieza con una llaga solitaria que no duele ni avisa, y desaparece sola engañándote por completo.
Syphilis is called “the great imitator” because its lesions resemble many other diseases, and because they resolve on their own while the infection stays active.
We walk through the primary, secondary, latent and tertiary stages, why a lesion disappearing does not mean cure, and why it is diagnosed with a simple blood test.
