There were 60 reported cases in Nottinghamshire in 2022
A mediaeval disease is making a comeback across England, with cases on the rise in across the country. According to data, there were 60 reported cases of syphilis in Nottinghamshire, the ancient sexually transmitted disease, in 2022 - with a rate of 7.3 cases per 100,000 people.
UKHSA data shows syphilis disproportionally affects gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men . Seven in 10 of the cases diagnosed last year were in GBM. But since the early 2000s syphilis - and gonorrhoea - have re-emerged as major public health concerns. Using our interactive map below, you can see how the rate of syphilis in Nottinghamshire compares to other counties.
Because it was believed to have been spread by invading troops, it was known in some parts of Europe - including the UK - as the “French disease”. Mindful of the stigma, the French, however, called it “the Neapolitan disease”.
