Enhanced Screening Recommendations • All high-risk pregnant women in North Dakota should be screened for syphilis at least three times during the course of pregnancy. This recommendation is made by CDC for areas experiencing high syphilis morbidity. Currently Sioux County in North Dakota qualifies as an area with high syphilis morbidity. • Screen 1 should occur at a patient’s first prenatal visit; • Screen 2 should occur in the third trimester (between 28-32 weeks) and • Screen 3 should occur on the day of delivery. Three screens are essential, even if the first screen is negative. If a woman tests positive, refer to the Treatment Guidelines (link below) for information on treating both mother and child. Any woman who delivers a stillborn infant after 20 weeks gestation should be tested for syphilis, regardless of risk. No infant should leave the hospital without the serological status of the mother having been determined at least once during pregnancy. • All persons that have a positive Chlamydia or Gonorrhea test or • Residents of Sioux County, between the ages of 15 and 50 who are sexually active or • Patients who have sexual partners from Sioux County or • Men who have sex with men or • All patients with ano-genital lesions or • All patients with oral lesions suggestive of a primary syphilitic chancre or • All patients presenting with a rash, especially palmar or plantar rashes,alopecia or • gummatous lesions • Patients with neurological signs or symptoms of unknown cause and syphilis has not yet been ruled out.
Syphilis Testing • RPR—non-treponmal test • Followed by antibody titer • Example (1:32 or 1:128) • FTA or TP-PA—treponmal • Syphilis is confirmed
Syphilis Treatment • Benzathine penicillin G (i.e., Bicillin, LA™) remains the preferred treatment for syphilis.
Syphilis Staging • Primary • Primary lesion or chancre • Often painless • Chancre is contagious • Secondary • Usually presents as a rash that may take on several different appearances. • The rash may appear as rough, red or reddish brown spots may be found on the palms of the hand or the soles of the feet and usually does not cause itching. • “Great imitator” • Fever, swollen lymph glands, sore throat, patchy hair loss, headaches, weight loss, muscle aches and fatigue. • Latent Stages • Usually asymptomatic • Visual Case Analysis done to determine evaluation of sex partners based on staging done by ND DIS.
Syphilis Treatment cont. • Non-pregnant persons infected with syphilis in whom penicillin is contradicted can be treated with alternative regimens, depending on the stage of syphilis diagnosed. Alternative regimens consist of oral doxycycline or tetracycline and require two to four weeks of treatment. Compliance with these regimens must be monitored. • Sexual Contacts: • For the management of sexual contacts of infected individuals, testing and treatment depends on the stage of the index case. • Presumptive treatment, along with testing, should be given to persons exposed to primary, secondary, early latent syphilis or to those exposed to individuals with latent syphilis of unknown duration with high titers (i.e. 1:32). • Partners exposed to an unknown stage of syphilis should be tested and treated presumptively. Long-term sex partners of patients who have latent syphilis should be evaluated clinically and serologically for syphilis and treated on the basis of the evaluation findings.
