A cluster of five (3 primary and 2 early latent) cases of syphilis were identified in young heterosexuals in the east of England. Three were symptomatic at presentation. No further cases linked to this cluster have been diagnosed since June 2010. Effective partner notification is key to the identification and treatment of infected contacts.
在英格兰东部的年轻异性恋者中发现了一组5例梅毒病例(3例原发和2例早期潜伏)。3例在就诊时有症状。自2010年6月以来,未诊断出与该组病例相关的其他病例。有效的性伴侣通知是识别和治疗受感染接触者的关键。
