Syphilis has been called many names since the first record of it in the 1490s, most of them uncomplimentary – “the French disease“, “the Neapolitan disease”, “the Polish disease”. One however has stuck: “the great imitator“. Syphilis is a master at mimicking other infections and early symptoms are easy to miss. Left untreated, the consequences can be serious. BBC.
