Question:
A 60-year-old male who has multiple sexual partners presents complaining of a painless chancre on his penis. His VDRL test returns positive. Administration of which of the following is most appropriate?
Correct Answer: D. Penicillin G
Syphilis, in its primary stage, presents with a solitary, painless chancre. It is caused by the spirochete Treponema pallidum. The gold standard for treatment is Penicillin G, which is the parenteral form. Azithromycin could be used to treat Haemophilus ducreyi, a sexually transmitted pathogen that presents with painful chancroid. Amphotericin B is an antifungal agent.
