Syphilis first noted There is much debate as to when syphilis first happened upon the scene. One theory is that it was brought back to Europe from Haiti by Columbus's sailors in 1494, where upon it spread rapidly reaching France, Germany, and Switzerland in 1495, Scotland in 1497, and Hungary and Russia in 1499. Vasco da Gama took it to India in 1498 and it reached China in 1505. The Archbishop of Crete is said to have died of it in 1506. Diaz is said to have encountered syphilis in 1493. Some writers have suggested that syphilis was present in mediaeval Europe and "merely flared up in 1494." And some evidence for the existence of syphilis in England is given in C. Creighton's "A History of epidemics in Britain" (Cambridge, 1894); according to this account syphilis existed in England in the first part of the fourteenth-century.
