Popis: We describe and analyze a simple SIS model with treatment. In particular, we give a completely qualitative analysis by means of the theory of asymptotically autonomous system. It is found that a backward bifurcation occurs if the adequate contact rate or the capacity is small. It is also found that there exists bistable endemic equilibria. In the case of disease-induced death, it is shown that the backward bifurcation also occurs. Moreover, there is no limit cycle under some conditions, and the subcritical Hopf bifurcation occurs under another conditions.
