Abstract |
Although the efficacy of penicillin treatment for syphilis has been amply demonstrated, the optimal, curative dosage is still undefined. Some patients experience a third stage of the disease long after secondary-stage symptoms have resolved. Treatment differs in early and late latency and with the specific manifestations of tertiary-stage disease.
