Unusual Symptoms of Syphilis on the Rise in Chicago: Vision, Hearing Loss, and Headaches Reported
The Hidden Impact of Syphilis: Unusual Symptoms and Alarming Trends
Disease detectives in Chicago have recently uncovered a troubling trend associated with the sexually transmitted infection syphilis. Patients are reporting unusual symptoms like vision and eye problems, headaches, and even hearing loss or dizziness. These symptoms are typically attributed to late-stage infections that have gone undiagnosed for years.
In a study presented at the 2024 Epidemic Intelligence Service Conference in Atlanta, researchers revealed over two dozen cases of syphilis-related symptoms in Chicago last year. Alarmingly, nearly one-third of these cases were still in the early stages of infection, which suggests that detection and treatment efforts are falling short.
“Providers definitely need to be screening more and be aware that this is what we’re seeing,” said Dr. Amy Nham, lead author of the study from the Chicago Department of Public Health.
While syphilis has historically affected men who have sex with men at higher rates than other groups, recent years have witnessed a demographic shift in its prevalence. Infections among heterosexual men and women have more than doubled since 2019. Furthermore, cases of congenital syphilis—transmitted from pregnant women to their babies—are also on the rise.
