Synopsis

This book explores the history and development of specific remedies used to treat syphilis from the late 19th century through the early 20th century. It details the discovery of the Spirocheta pallida, the causative agent of syphilis, and the subsequent race among researchers in the early 20th century to develop a safe and effective cure for the disease. The author follows the trajectory of various treatments that evolved from that time, including atoxyl, arsacetin, and mercury. Along the way, the clinical observations and impact of these treatments, as well as the common therapeutic procedures of the era, are examined. The book provides a comprehensive overview of this transformative period for the treatment of syphilis, culminating in the development of the drug Salvarsan, the first truly effective cure that signified a new phase in syphilis therapy.
