Syphilis

2023

Source: Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH) - OK2SHARE

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. It is transmitted through direct contact with a syphilis sore, known as a chancre. The primary stage typically begins 2–6 weeks after exposure with the appearance of a chancre, which may heal without treatment. However, untreated syphilis can progress to the secondary stage, often marked by a body-wide rash, and then to latent and late stages. Late-stage syphilis can lead to severe health complications, including organ damage, paralysis, blindness, dementia, and even death. In pregnant women, syphilis can cause miscarriage, premature birth, stillbirth, or serious complications for the newborn such as deafness, seizures, or cataracts.

This statistic is expressed as a rate per 100,000 population, based on reported cases in a single year.

If left untreated, gonorrhea can result in serious and painful infections and may lead to infertility in both men and women. In pregnant women, the infection can be passed to the baby during childbirth, increasing the risk of blindness or life-threatening complications for the infant.

Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. It is the most commonly reported STI in Tulsa County. Often asymptomatic, chlamydia can still cause significant reproductive health complications if left untreated, particularly for women. When symptoms do occur, they may include abnormal vaginal discharge, penile discharge, and a burning sensation during urination. Chlamydia can also be transmitted from mother to infant during childbirth, potentially leading to eye infections that may cause blindness.
