Syphilis is a bacterial infection caused by Treponema pallidum bacteria and spread by sexual contact (Heymann, 2015). The disease can result in either acute or chronic outcomes resulting in four possible stages of infection, if left untreated.
Bacterial sexually transmitted infections (STIs), such as gonorrhoea, chlamydia, and syphilis, are increasing across Ontario and locally, in Windsor and Essex County. These infections pose a serious health risk to individuals and their partners. Complications from acquiring these infections range from chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and sterility, to more systemic infections of other organs, such as the heart and brain.
Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) is a rare but potentially fatal illness that can be transferred to humans from the bite of an infected mosquito.
This Guide to common infections booklet provides information about communicable diseases, including signs and symptoms, how they are spread, if it is a reportable disease and links to additional resources.
