Syphilis has three stages: primary, secondary and tertiary. In the early stages, syphilis is detected in 40% of cases; In about 20% of cases, doctors find other, unspecified forms of syphilis. Today, late syphilis is now detected more often due to the COVID-19 pandemic, dermatologist Professor Denis Zaslavsky, Honorary Doctor of the Russian Federation, told socialbites.ca.

“People isolated themselves, did not go to doctors, had sex. That is why we are increasingly encountering late stages of the disease,” explained Zaslavsky.

In addition to the coronavirus pandemic, the 90s also contributed to numerous late-stage detections of syphilis.

“This is a tail from the 90s. Later, people began to receive treatment from everyone in various underground offices, under market conditions. Illiterate doctors were prescribing the wrong drugs in the wrong doses. And this untreated syphilis, which is now late or has progressed to neurosyphilis, is a result of the years 1995-1997, when the disease was on the rise,” the doctor said.
