assistant
The different types of syphilis include primary, secondary, latent, and tertiary. Primary syphilis is characterized by a single sore that appears on the genitals or anus. It can also cause fever, rash, and swollen lymph nodes. Secondary syphilis is more serious and includes multiple sores that appear on the skin, mucous membranes, and other organs. Latent syphilis is when the infection is inactive and no symptoms are present. Tertiary syphilis is the most advanced stage and can lead to death if left untreated.
