The number of syphilis cases reported in Japan this year has exceeded 10,000. This is the fastest rate of increase seen since comparable data became available in 1999.
Japan's National Institute of Infectious Diseases said 10,110 cases had been reported as of September 3. That is about 1.24 times the number reported during the same period last year, which was a record high.
If the current pace of increase continues, the number of cases may reach a record high for the third year in a row.
