Diseases of Venus

Venereal disease got its name from the goddess of love and beauty Venus by the ancient Romans. This is a group of infectious diseases transmitted mainly through sex - syphilis, gonorrhea, chancroid and inguinal limfogranulomatoz. The term "venereal disease" was proposed in 1527 by French scientist Jean de Betancourt. The first mention of these diseases are found in Egyptian papyri, in the Chinese written sources (2500 years BC. Er.) In the writings of Hippocrates (V-IV century BC. Er.) Plutarch (I-II century) Areteya (II century), Galen (II century). In Europe, sexually transmitted diseases are widespread in the late XV century, aided by a colonial war, the pursuit of new markets, urban development and increasing prostitution. The number of patients with sexually transmitted diseases are not amenable to strict account for concealing the disease and treatment from private doctors, however, according to available statistics, in Russia in 1915 to 100 thousand people there were 96 patients with syphilis. After the October Revolution, with the creation of the health care system, the fight against these diseases was conducted across the state. Now, under the Criminal Code establishes criminal liability for contamination of these diseases of other people.

In a separate discipline, it stood out at the end of the XV century, when Europe began pandemic of syphilis. The territory of distribution it was called then Spanish, then Italian, then French disease. For a long time, syphilis and gonorrhea were considered a single disease, owing to lack of knowledge about their agents. In the first half of the XIX century a French school Venereologists, the founder of which was a French doctor FG Rikor. To prove the differences between these diseases he carried out the barbaric experiments on people, equipping them with the disease artificially. In 1879, the founder of the school breslauskoy Venereologists A. Neisseria opened Gonorrhoea - gonococcus. Namely, he proved that gonorrhea - is an independent disease.

In 1885 an Italian doctor discovered pathogen P. Ferrari chancroid - streptobatsillu and in 1887 the Russian scientist A. Peterson showed experimentally that streptobatsilla and is the causative agent of chancroid, setting the difference between soft and hard chancre. In 1903, during experiments conducted on monkeys, a Russian scientist II Mechnikov and the French scholar E. Roux proved that syphilis is contagious. In 1905, German scientists Shaudin F. and E. Hofmann discovered the agent of syphilis - treponema pallidum, and in 1906 a German scientist A. Wasserman suggested for the diagnosis of syphilis serological tests, which received its name - Wasserman.
