So here it is given to us that there is a woman who is pregnant but is 18 year old, came to a fourth country with urgent care clinic and she had a low -grade fever, malice and headache.
00:17
She was sent home with a diagnosis of influenza and then after a treatment of seven days, she was again diagnosed with a muscular rash on her trunk, arms.
00:30
Hands and feet.
00:32
After further questioning and serology results, it was found that one month previously she had a painless ulcer on her vagina that healed spontaneously.
00:43
So according to this information, the first question has been asked to identify the disease and also tell at which stage that disease is.
00:57
So here the disease which is identified is syphilis and it is in the secondary stage because these symptoms are of its secondary stage.
01:16
Now coming to the second question it is asking us that what is the pathogen? well, we have to name the pathogen of this disease and the mode of transmission of this disease, that is syphilis.
01:39
First, if we talk about the pathogen, then the name of pathogen is treponema pallidium.
01:55
So this is the name of the pathogen of disease syphilis.
02:00
Now if we talk about the mode of transmission, then it is a direct contact that is person to person with a syphlic sar which is known as canker.
02:17
And it is mainly spread through direct contact with an infected person.
02:25
Mainly during sexual activity also and the bacteria enter the body through minor cuts also or abrasions.
02:36
On the skin or mucous membrane syphilis is contagious during its primary and secondary stages and sometimes in the early latent period also.
02:45
So these are the name of pathogen and the mode of transmission for the disease syblis...
