<unk>  syphilis is defined as syphilis characterized by seroreactivity without other evidence of disease. Patients who have<unk>  syphilis and who acquired syphilis during the preceding year are classified as having early<unk>  syphilis. An asymptomatic person should be considered to have late<unk>  syphilis or syphilis of unknown duration. Nontreponemal serologic titers usually are higher during early<unk>  syphilis than late<unk>  syphilis but are not necessarily diagnostic of early or<unk>  syphilis. The CDC recommends a Benzathine penicillin G regimen for treatment of syphilis. Patients allergic to penicillin may be treated with Doxycycline or tetracycline regimens but efficacy of these alternatives is not well documented. Patients diagnosed with<unk>  syphilis who demonstrate neurologic or ophthalmic signs or symptoms, evidence of tertiary syphilis, or serologic treatment failure should have a prompt CSF examination.
