Ugcunsulaisifo esithathelwana ngocansi esibangelwa amagciwane e-Treponema pallidum. Isatshalaliswa ngokuthintana ngokocansi, okuhlanganisa ucansi lwesitho sangasese sowesifazane, sangemuva, nangomlomo. Amagciwane angasakazwa futhi esuka kumama aye enganeni ngesikhathi sokubeletha. Ugcunsula inkinga yezempilo engathi sína engaba nemiphumela yesikhathi eside uma ingelashwa.

Ukuziphatha ngokocansi kudlala indima ebalulekile ekusakazekeni kwe-syphilis. Ukuya ocansini olungavikelekile nophathina onegciwane kwandisa ingozi yokutheleleka. Lokhu kubandakanya ukuba nabalingani bocansi abaningi, njengoba lokhu kwandisa amathuba okuxhumana nomuntu onogcunsula. Ukwengeza, ukuhlanganyela emisebenzini yocansi engcuphe kakhulu, njengocansi lwendunu olungavikelekile, kungandisa amathuba okudluliselwa kogcunsula.

Kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi i-syphilis ingadluliselwa ngaphandle kokuya ocansini, njengokumpontshelwa igazi noma isuka kumama iye ku-fetus ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa. Nokho, ucansi luhlala lungenye yezindlela eziyinhloko lokhu kutheleleka okusakazeka ngayo.

Ukuvimbela ukutheleleka nge-syphilis kuhilela ukwenza ucansi oluphephile, okubandakanya ukusebenzisa amakhondomu ngendlela efanele futhi njalo ngesikhathi sokuya ocansini. Ukunciphisa inani labalingani bocansi kanye nokuhlala ebudlelwaneni bomuntu oyedwa nomlingani ohloliwe nowaziwa ukuthi akanalo gciwane nakho kunganciphisa ingozi yokudluliselwa kogcunsula.

Ukuhlolwa njalo kwezifo ezithathelwana ngocansi, okuhlanganisa nogcunsula, kubalulekile kubantu abaya ocansini. Ukutholwa kusenesikhathi nokwelashwa kwe-syphilis kubalulekile ekuvimbeleni ukutheleleka ukuthi kuqhubekele ezigabeni ezinzima kakhulu, okungaholela ezinkingeni ezinkulu zempilo.

Ukufingqa, ukuya ocansini kungadala ukutheleleka nge-syphilis. Ukwenza ucansi oluphephile, ukuhlolwa njalo, kanye nokufuna ukwelashwa ngokushesha ngemva kokutholakala kogcunsula kuyizinyathelo ezibalulekile zokuvimbela ukusabalala kwalesi sifo esithathelwana ngocansi. Ngokwaziswa nokuthatha izinyathelo ezisheshayo, abantu banganciphisa ingozi yokuthola ugcunsula futhi bavikele impilo yabo yezocansi.

Lapha sinesinyathelo esisodwa sokuhlola okusheshayo kwe-TP-AB yokuthola i-Syphilis, futhi sibe nayoI-HIV/HCV/HBSAG/Syphilis combo testukuze kutholwe i-Syphilis.
