1928-1929年，英國細菌學家亞曆山大•弗雷明
( Alexander Fleming ,1881-1955)發現和命名了青黴素，青黴素以及與後來發現的其他抗生素一起，最終成為治療梅毒和其他細菌性感染疾病最有效的藥物。弗雷明獲得了1945年的諾貝爾醫學獎。可是，二戰期間，青黴素首次僅用於治療傷患。惟有到了1940年代晚近的時候，該抗菌素確實足量到可滋規模化運用。到了1950年代，弗雷明的藥物廣泛用於性傳播疾病的治療，而且其結果真正地令人難忘。隨著與大規模公共教育運動相結合，這種新療法導致了梅毒傳染病的戲劇性降低。 |
Success with antibiotics
In 1928-29, the British bacteriologist Alexander Fleming discovered and named penicillin, which, together with other, later developed antibiotics, eventually became the most effective treatment of syphilis and other bacterial infections. Fleming was awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1945. However, during WW II penicillin was first used only for the treatment of wounded soldiers. Only in the late 1940s did it became available in sufficient quantities and could be used on a larger scale. Beginning
in the 1950s, it was widely used for the treatment of STDs, and the results were truly impressive. In combination with a massive public education campaign, the new treatment resulted in a dramatic decrease of syphilis infections. |
