In 2022, the U.S. saw a 9% increase in infectious syphilis cases, reaching the highest count since 1950, with a total surpassing 207,000, according to a federal government report.
It's not clear why syphilis rose 9% while gonorrhea dropped 9%, officials at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said, adding that it's too soon to know whether a new downward trend is emerging for the latter.
