HOUSTON - Houston and Harris County are experiencing a syphilis outbreak
after Houston Health Department (HHD) reports a 128% increase in cases
among women and a nine-fold rise in congenital syphilis.

Due to this, the department says they will begin rapid outreach response
that includes increasing screening opportunities, targeting hotspots,
and mobilizing community partners to curb new infections.

According to HHD, their statistics show infections saw a 57% increase
from 1,845 in 2019 to 2,905 in 2022.

In 2022 cases among women totaled 674, more than double the 295 cases in
2019. Congenital syphilis soared from 16 cases in 2016 to 151 cases in
2021, the latest year for which statistics are available.

"It is crucial for pregnant women to seek prenatal care and syphilis
testing to protect themselves from an infection that could result in the
deaths of their babies," said Marlene McNeese Ward, deputy assistant
director in the department’s Bureau of HIV/STI and Viral Hepatitis
Prevention. "A pregnant woman needs to get tested for syphilis three
times during her pregnancy."

Women are recommended testing at their first prenatal visit, during
their third trimester, and at delivery, says HHD. If syphilis goes
untreated during pregnancy it can result in a stillbirth or a baby's
death soon after birth.

HHD will be waiving all clinical fees for sexually transmitted
infections (STI) at their health centers, in response to the outbreak.
In addition, they will expand their HIV/STD mobile clinic for more
community screening sites and set up in areas considered hotspots,
selected from disease monitoring and case management data.

The department is also working with medical providers and collaborating
with community-based partners to increase awareness of the outbreak and
enhance testing and treatment.

There is an increased risk of contracting HIV when you have syphilis due
to the painless sore that develops at the site of sexual contact during
the disease’s primary stage. HHD says new syphilis infections are known
as primary, secondary and early latent syphilis.

Syphilis can easily be treated with antibiotics but without adequate
treatment, the infection progresses to the secondary stage when one or
more areas of the skin break into a rash – usually non-itchy and most
typically on the palms and soles.

According to HHD, other second-stage symptoms can include fever, swollen
lymph glands, sore throat, patchy hair loss, headaches, weight loss,
muscle aches, and fatigue.

In most cases, the infection goes undetected because the signs and
symptoms are misinterpreted or simply unnoticed. If untreated, Treponema Pallidum, the bacterium that causes syphilis, remains in the body and
begins to damage the internal organs, including the brain, nerves, eyes,
heart, blood vessels, liver, bones, and joints.
