Syphilis was thought
to have been beaten by mass penicillin treatment in
the 1950s and 1960s. Now it's back, particularly
among the rural populations of places like Haiti -
which medical experts believe is where the disease
started in the first place. The theory goes
Christopher Columbus' crew brought the disease back
to Europe. Now, special mobile testing units are
being used to tackle the disease and with great
success.
