Wow, they're a lot of good answers
just to add on...
the hallmark is genitals (or body part) that is covered in a bloodless puss sore and is painless. it occurs about 10 days to 3 months after exposure. Thats stage one
It can be cured, but action should be taken as soon as possible because it spreads throughout the body and will kill if no action is taken
stage two is when it spreads through the body. Symptoms are anorexia,nausea,bone and joint pain, fever, and a whole shloo of other symptoms (it can be spread by kissing at this stage)
by fourth stage the internal organs can be destroyed. In addition, it can be crossed from mother to child and cause anything from blindness to stillborns

Syphilis is a systemic disease caused by Treponema pallidum, characterized by 3 sequential clinical stages and by years of latency. Common symptoms include genital ulcers, skin lesions, meningitis, aortic disease, and neurologic syndromes. Diagnosis is by serologic tests and adjunctive studies selected on the basis of the stage of disease. Penicillin is the drug of choice.
