Abstract

Until the emergence of HIV and other more spectacular viral diseases, syphilis has probably been referred to more than any other infectious disease throughout history – in theatre, literature and politics. During the 19th century, aside from being a notorious disease transmitted sexually, it was the diverse clinical and pathological forms of syphilis which led to much of this mystique and fear.
