In Missouri, the syphilis epidemic strikes almost everywhere, from rural to metropolitan areas, affecting various age groups and subpopulations. We conducted this narrative review focusing on published data regarding syphilis in Missouri, and discussing contemporary risk factors for such an unprecedented spread, and treatment and prevention options.
