5. Malaise
Malaise is a very subjective symptom that can be described as a general feeling of discomfort or a state of uneasiness that is quite difficult to describe. Due to its subjectivity, it is not a very helpful diagnostic tool, as it is a non-specific symptom that can be associated with many conditions.
This symptom is commonly seen in secondary syphilis. It is one of many constitutional symptoms like fatigue, fever, headaches, and muscle pain, that are associated with this stage of the disease. As the disease progresses into latency, the symptoms usually disappear slowly.
