What is this Indicator?
This indicator shows the infectious syphilis (primary and secondary) incidence rate in cases per 100,000 population. Population estimates for 2006-2010 are from the State of California, Department of Finance, California County Population Estimates and Components of Change by Year, July 1, 2000-2010. Sacramento, California, December 2010. |
| Why this is important: Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by a bacterium called Treponema pallidum. Syphilis can also be passed from mother to infant during pregnancy causing a disease called congenital syphilis.
In 2008, 13,500 cases of primary and secondary syphilis were reported in the United States, a 17.7 percent increase from 2007. The rate of primary & secondary syphilis in the United States was 18.4% higher in 2008 than in 2007. Primary and secondary syphilis rates have been increasing each year since 2000. In 2008, 63% of the reported primary and secondary syphilis cases in the U.S. were among men who have sex with men, but syphilis among heterosexuals is an emerging problem. |
| Technical Note: The distribution is based on data from 41 California counties.The posted data is provisional, and therefore can be expected to change. The indicator data may not reflect the most recent revisions from the California Department of Public Health. Please consult the source for the most accurate estimates. |
