Textbook Question
Chapter 20, Problem 1CCS
A 20-year-old male reports to his physician that he has experienced painful urination, as if he were urinating molten solder. He has also noticed a puslike discharge from his penis. A stained smear of the discharge is shown in the photo.
The patient reports having been sexually active with two or three women in the previous six months. Because his partners reported being “absolutely sure” that they wouldn’t get pregnant and carried no sexually transmitted diseases, the patient had not used a condom.
- 1. What disease does this patient most likely have? What are the medical and common names for this disease?
- 2. How did the patient acquire the disease?
- 3. What could explain the lack of any history of sexually transmitted disease in his sexual partners?
- 4. What is the likely treatment?
- 5. Is the patient immune to future infections with this bacterium?

The project was conducted by the U.S. Public Health Service from 1932 to 1972 to examine the natural course of untreated syphilis in African American men. The research was intended to test whether syphilis caused cardiovascular damage more often than neurological damage and to determine if the natural course of syphilis in black men was significantly different from that in whites. To recruit participants for its study, the PHS enlisted the support of the prestigious Tuskegee Institute (now Tuskegee University), located in Macon County, Alabama.
