enDescription
An outbreak of infectious syphilis began in Glasgow, becoming apparent in the second half of 2001 primarily in men who have sex with men (MSM). This development mirrors similar outbreaks in many other UK, European and international cities where there is a large gay community and gay commercial and sauna scene. London, Manchester, Dublin and Brighton have also experienced syphilis outbreaks. Small but significant numbers of cases have also been identified in refugees and asylum seekers from Eastern Europe. This report is concerned with early infectious syphilis, taken as within 2 years of infection.Collections
