35
stages of Lymphogranuloma venereum
primary infection, secondary infection, and late lymphogranuloma venereum
36
primary infection of Lymphogranuloma venereum
painless and small genital ulcer at the site of inoculation. The painless ulcer resolves spontaneously within a few days and thus often goes unnoticed
37
secondary infection of Lymphogranuloma venereum
occurs 2 to 6 weeks following the primary infection. The secondary stage is due to inflammation from direct extension to the superficial and deep inguinal or femoral lymph nodes. The secondary stage may manifest as an inguinal syndrome or as anorectal symptoms.
38
sx in secondary infection of Lymphogranuloma venereum
unilateral painful inguinal lymph nodes associated with lymphogranuloma venereum are often called buboes. The inguinal syndrome of lymphogranuloma venereum is less common in women because the vaginal and cervical lymph nodes drain predominantly to the retroperitoneal area. The secondary stage of lymphogranuloma venereum may lead to severe inflammation, causing systemic symptoms. Anorectal symptoms due to lymphogranuloma venereum include rectal discharge, tenesmus, anal pain, and constipation
39
late lymphogranuloma venereum
(typically in untreated cases) include strictures or fibrosis of the genitourinary tract, infertility, genital elephantiasis, and esthiomene, which is defined as destruction of the genitalia

primary syphilis
a single, erythematous, painless genital ulcer (called a chancre) appears and usually lasts for 4 weeks. highly infectious ulcer they are solitary, erythematous, raised and firm to the touch and will ulcerate over time, creating a surrounding crater w elevated edges (usually heal within 3-6 weeks) may have associated regional lymphadenopathy
59
secondary syphilis
ay occur weeks to months after resolution of the chancre A maculopapular rash on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet is the most recognized physical exam finding in secondary syphilis - rash is nonpruritic condyloma lata (highly infectious) may appear near the site of the original chancre. These appear as small, verrucous lesions in mucocutaneous areas. moth-eaten alopecia Additional symptoms associated with secondary syphilis are fever and lymphadenopathy. develops 4-10 weeks after chancre appears
60
Latent stage syphilis
can persist for 25 years. This is an asymptomatic stage of disease. pts are seroreactive
61
Tertiary syphilis
characterized by gummatas, or small, benign growths found throughout various tissues. The patient may also have focal neurologic findings, including hearing and vision loss. Additional findings as a result of syphilis infection include congenital and neurosyphilis slowly progressive mainly affects the cardiovascular system and central nervous system - but can affect any organ
