AB Syphilis became a problem at the beginning of the eighteenth century
when a virulent microbe was brought to Norway. This new disease was
called radesyken, a Nordic name for the wicked disease. Rade hospitals
were built and this was the beginning of the Norwegian hospital system.
Professor Caesar Boeck refused to use mercury in the treatment of
syphilis; 2000 of his patients were included in the Oslo study of
untreated syphilis. With the use of penicillin and other antibiotics,
syphilis and gonorrhoea decreased. More frequent now are the viral
diseases, herpes genitalis and condylomata acuminata. HIV is seldom
found in the STD clinic in Oslo: only 5-6 HIV-positive persons per year;
that is, about 0.09% of all new patients.
