Syphilis Rates Reach All-Time Low.
MILWAUKEE -- Rates of primary and secondary syphilis in the United States have reached their lowest point since reporting began in 1941, according to a new report issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The most recent syphilis epidemic peaked at 20.3 cases per 100,000 population in 1990. But by 1999, the rate was 2.5 cases per 100,000--a decline of 88%. Only 21% of the 3,115 counties in the United States reported any new cases of primary or secondary syphilis during that year.
This low incidence, combined with the concentration of new cases in only a few counties around the nation, means syphilis could be eliminated in the United States, said Dr. Ronald O. Valdiserri, who discussed the report at a conference on STD prevention sponsored by the CDC and the American Social Health Association.
The findings in African Americans were especially encouraging. Between 1997 and 1999, syphilis rates declined 29% among African Americans, remained stable in whites, and increased 20% in Hispanics.
