Synopsis

This book is a significant medical text that re-evaluates the nature and treatment of primary syphilis based on the author's 25 years of clinical experience. The author challenges the prevailing view that syphilis is a single disease entity, and instead proposes that there are two distinct types of syphilitic chancre, each with its own unique characteristics and prognosis. The author argues that the "simple chancre", which is the most common form, is a purely local infection that does not lead to constitutional symptoms. In contrast, the "infecting chancre" is a more serious condition that can lead to the development of secondary and tertiary syphilis. The author provides detailed descriptions of the clinical features of each type of chancre, as well as their differential diagnosis and treatment. This book is a valuable resource for clinicians and researchers interested in the diagnosis and treatment of syphilis. The author's insights into the nature of this disease have had a major impact on the field of venereology, and his work continues to guide the management of syphilis today.
