During the secondary stage of syphilis, some individuals may experience fever as the body tries to fight off the infection.

• Fever Characteristics: Fevers associated with secondary syphilis are typically low-grade and may come and go over several weeks. They can be accompanied by other flu-like symptoms, such as body aches and fatigue.

• Diagnosis and Treatment: If you experience persistent fevers along with other symptoms suggestive of syphilis, consult a healthcare provider for appropriate testing and treatment. Timely intervention can help prevent the infection from advancing to more severe stages. (12)
