In the 1990s, rates of reported cases of infectious syphilis were relatively low and were similar among males and females. In 2001, rates began to increase, particularly among males.
To identify trends in reported cases of infectious syphilis in Canada from January 1, 2003 to December 31, 2012.
Notifiable disease reports were submitted to the Public Health Agency of Canada by provincial and territorial epidemiological units and data were summarized by age and sex.
Rates of reported cases of infectious syphilis increased by 101.0% between 2003 and 2012, from 2.9 to 5.8 per 100,000. Over this time frame, rates increased among males by 128.3% and decreased among females by 40.9%. In males, rates of infectious syphilis were highest among those aged 25 to 29; in females, rates were highest among those aged 20 to 24.
In Canada, as in many countries, rates of reported infectious syphilis cases in males have markedly increased over the last 10 years.
在20世纪90年代，报告的感染性梅毒病例数相对较低，男性和女性的病例数相似。2001年，病例数开始增加，尤其是男性。
确定2003年1月1日至2012年12月31日加拿大报告的感染性梅毒病例的趋势。
省级和地区流行病学单位向加拿大公共卫生署提交法定报告疾病报告，并按年龄和性别对数据进行汇总。
2003年至2012年期间，报告的感染性梅毒病例数增加了101.0%，从每10万人2.9例增至5.8例。在此期间，男性病例数增加了128.3%，女性病例数减少了40.9%。在男性中，25至29岁年龄段的感染性梅毒发病率最高；在女性中，20至24岁年龄段的发病率最高。
与许多国家一样，在加拿大，过去10年男性报告的感染性梅毒病例数显著增加。
