Tuesday, August 29, 2023 NIAID-Supported Research is Advancing the Response to Surging Syphilis Rates Syphilis, a common sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacteria Treponema pallidum, can result in adult neurological and organ damage, as well as congenital abnormalities, stillbirths, and neonatal deaths. More research is urgently needed to diversify the diagnostic, preventive, and therapeutic options available to alter the course of the public health threat of syphilis. NIAID supports research to address these areas including studies featured at the recent STI & HIV World Congress in Chicago.
