Syphilis rates on the rise Syphilis rates in the Lower Mainland have spiked in the past year to the highest levels seen in decades. The highly contagious sexually transmitted disease, once thought nearly wiped out in B.C., is mainly being seen in men who have sexual contact with other men. Both the Vancouver Coastal and Fraser Health regions report their syphilis case numbers more than doubled from 2011 to 2012. Vancouver Coastal saw nearly 300 cases last year or 80 per cent of the B.C. total. Fraser reported 67 in 2012, up from 27 in both 2010 and 2011. “We’re concerned about the increasing numbers in Fraser even though it’s not as bad as in Vancouver Coastal,” said Dr. Paul Van Buynder, chief medical health officer for the Fraser Health Authority. Some researchers have pointed to the advent of mobile phone apps for easily organizing anonymous gay sex hookups. He said the disease is one of the “great mimickers” because its symptoms can often be mistaken for bug bites or rashes, leading those infected to ignore it and spread the bacteria to others. —by Jeff Nagel
