January 25th I was diagnosed and treated for syphilis. I was under the impression that I was allergic to penicillin so I was treated with doxycycline for 28 because of my high titer 1:256 During that time I drank atleast 3 times a week because of depressed I was with this. I also threw up a few times. April 6th I went to my gyn told them my situation and was retested. Of course it came back positive my dr gave me more doxycycline for 2 weeks.
I've been on penicillin for a week for a toothache and my pvc's are worse than they've ever been..I called the Dr to request doxycycline as I've taken it before with no issues, but does it work for a tooth Infection? I also have mitral valve prolapse..
I had a syphilis diagnosis Feb 14...wasn't really sure what stage it was in, but the titer came back at 1:16. Before I actually knew I had syphilis I thought it was a sore throat, so I took a Z-pak and when I was retested a week later the result was 1:1 nonreactive. The nurse was saying that was odd. I had two rounds of Pen G injections for two weeks. Abstained from sex...same partner, he was tested and came back negative of all stds.
According to most websites tetracycline is part of the penicillin family and is also used gonorrhoea, syphilis and chlamydia. I just wanted to check this is true?
He has started treatment with doxycycline and azithromycin. A day after starting treatment a few red spots appeared under the skin on his hands (both hands, 3/4 sports clustered together). The skin is not broken, the spots are under the skin. They have also started to fade away after a day. We asume these are a syphilis rash.
Since the skin is not broken, are these red spots contagious? Can I get syphilis from shaking his hand? What about from hugging him?
I am mortified to say this but I was diagnosed with syphilis and started doxycycline yesterday (2-15-13). I have 2 sores on my lip, sort of inside.
How long will it take to go away? Is there anything I can put on them? Should I be washing them or something? And (ewww) this stuff is coming off like a yellowish semi-crusty discharge.
Should i change to azithromycin and stop the doxycycline regime, or just stay with doxycycline? Which is the right choice of drug ? By the way , the first doctor also suggested taking doxycycline & at the same time getting treated with penicillin injection daily for 1 week, will this be effective or too much at once?

t occur. And even if you had syphilis, I see no reason for the doxycycline. Penicillin alone is highly reliable -- more so than doxycycline. Unless he gave you the wrong kind of penicillin. You might ask whether he treated you with the form called benzathine penicillin (brand name Bicillin), which is correct; or procaine penicillin, which is not.
Due to my allergy to penicillin, the doctor prescribed a 2 week treatment of doxycycline. I have completed the treatment. How long should I wait to be retested to make sure the treatment was effective? What would the expected results be?
Thus was also associated with his dry eye...so he says. He goes to doc and they give him doxycycline. Is he lying or telling the truth. Does he have a std or not? Why would they give him this med? He says its penicillin and should clear things up.help.
If I been on doxycycline for 15 days and taking my antibiotics like I suppose to what are the chances that I could have spreaded syphillis while giving oral sex if I didn't finish? My activity included licking and briefly sucking it for like a 2-3 mins and then stopping..
Now, after 4 weekly injections of penicillin, plus a course of doxycycline there is simply no way that you could have active syphilis form your exposure of concern. Most exposures do not lead to infection and you have been (over) treated in a manner which would prevent syphilis following exposure. Your serological test conclusively prove that you do not have syphilis related to your exposure of concern in November.
In answer to your questions:
1.
10 year old syphilis infection was recently treated with 14 day IV penicillin antibiotic. 24 million units a day.
Classic heximer reactions were experienced.
The symptoms have returned shortly after the treatment.
What would cause a 14 day IV treatment to fail? And in such a case what would be the followup treatment to kill the spirochete fully?
The doctor has prescribed doxycycline, clindamycin,some antihistamines and mupiderm ointment...the sores are on my buttocks and head of my penis.
