Abstract
A total of 4.8 million units of benzathine penicillin G, divided into two doses one week apart, is recommended for the treatment of primary, secondary, and latent syphilis. No spinal tap is required in primary or secondary syphilis, in contrast to latent syphilis. The modified "triple-test plan" is used for the separation of the biologic false-positive (BFP) from the syphilitic serologic reactions.
