Abstract:
:Although recent increases in the incidence of syphilis are well known to public health officials, the general medical community is less well informed regarding the dramatic rise in cases. We present trend data from Nashville and Tennessee over the past decade. These statistics emphasize specific factors, such as drug abuse, that contribute to new difficulties in controlling this sexually transmitted disease.
