Syphilis is a disease of sexual transmission or passed from the mother to fetus caused by a restricted anaerobic spirochete bacterium that parasites exclusively man. This term was first used in 1530 but only in 1905 was it associated with Treponema. Since the advent of penicillin, cases of syphilis have declined until about 20 years ago when the incidence of this disease has increased again.Although it is a disease with multiple manifestations being able to mimic other comorbidities, the diagnosis and treatment of Lues is relatively simple and inexpensive, which contradicts the high prevalence of this disease until the present day. Due to the epidemiological changes characterized by increased incidence and prevalence in the last decade, the objective of this review was to present the relevant aspects to detect the disease and aspects of its treatment, according to the different faces of the disease, prevention and treatment.
