venereal syphilis
a. Also venereal syphilis: a disease, transmitted mainly by sexual contact, which is characterized initially by the development of a chancre (ulcerated sore) on the skin or a mucous membrane, usually of the genitals, and later by systemic symptoms, and which is caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum; (as a count noun) an instance or case of this disease. In early use also: †any of various other sexually transmitted diseases confused with this, including gonorrhoea and chancroid (obsolete).Three stages of the untreated disease are distinguished, of which the first (primary syphilis) is that of the chancre. The next (secondary syphilis) occurs after spread of bacteria via the bloodstream, and is characterized by generalized rash and lymph node enlargement. In a proportion of infected persons, the third stage (tertiary syphilis) develops after a long latent period, and is characterized by destructive lesions of the skin and bones and by involvement of many other organs, esp. the brain and spinal cord (in the form of general paresis and tabes dorsalis) and the aorta (aortitis and aneurysm formation). Cf. primary adj. 6, secondary adj. 5f, tertiary adj. 4.The disease can also be transmitted from an infected mother to the fetus during pregnancy, resulting in congenital syphilis in the child.
