    Pathophysiology

    • Treponema pallidum penetrates intact mucous membranes or


    microscopic dermal abrasions and within hours enters lymphatics and
    blood to spread troughout the body.
    • It attaches to the endothelial lining of blood vessels causing
    inflammation – endarteritis.
    • Later there can be hyper-sensitifity response to the organism
    resulting in gummatous lesions and necrosis.
