It occurs in untreated syphilis many years after the primary infection. Causes Neurosyphilis occurs in 15 to 20% of all late or tertiary syphilis infections (about 10 to 20 years after the primary infection), and is a progressive, life-threatening complication. There are 4 different forms of neurosyphilis: asymptomatic , meningovascular, tabes dorsalis , and general paresis Asymptomatic neurosyphilis precedes symptomatic syphilis and is present in 15% of those with latent (hidden) syphilis. In this case, abnormalities may be present in the cerebrospinal fluid, but no symptoms are present.

Neurosyphilis; Report of Two Patients Hacer Bozdemir, MD, Lut Tamam, MD, Ali Özeren, MD, Mustafa Zeren, MD, Yakup Sarýca , MD. Purpose: Syphilis is a treatable disease provided a diagnose is made at an early stage. this way, the central nervous system complications that can be observed years after first inoculation can be avoided. Methods: In this article, two syphilis cases, one with progressive orientation disorder, another with recurrent transient ischemic episodes, were presented. Results: Severe confusional syndrome along with extrapyramidal and bilateral pyramidal irritation findings was found in the first patient. Second patient had findings of left pyramidal syndrome. Penicillin treatment of 24 million units per day was administered to both patients with positive syphilitic serologic tests for 14 days. There was no change in clinical status of the first patient after the treatment. However, second patient showed complete recovery. Conclusion: Our findings have showed the necessity of early phase intervention to avoid the infection of central nervous system by syphilis. It is apparent that neurological findings that develop at later stages of the disease might be irreversible. Ann Med Sci 2000;9:27-30

H. Houston Merritt and Neurosyphilis, Then and Now Leonidas Stefanis, M.D. and Lewis P. Rowland, M.D. Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York, N.Y. Houston Merritt was the Chair of Neurology at Columbia-Presbyterian from 1948 to 1967. He was Dean of the College of Physicians and Surgeons from 1958 to 1969. His legacy as a teacher of neurology extended throughout the United States because 30 of his st udents headed departments at medical centers from coast to coast. At that time, one-third of all Neurology chairs had trained with Merritt and some members of that cohort have not yet retired. Merritt also wrote a Textbook of Neurology; he was the sole author of that book for five editions. As the book increased in size with the accumulation of clinical knowledge, he reluctantly accepted the aid of others. The ninth edition of the text book was published in February 1995. Merritt's influence as teacher is still strong. on CSF, setting down the results of all of his studies. One of his students, Robert Fishman, brought the review up to da te and Fishman's book is now in its second edition.

Depression-era U.S. poster advocating early syphilis treatment Syphilis (historically called lues ) is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) that is caused by a spirochaete bacterium Treponema pallidum . Syphilis has many alternate names, such as: Miss Siff, the Pox, and has been given many national attributions, e.g. the French disease or the English disease. The route of transmission for syphilis is almost invariably by sexual contact; however, there are examples of direct contact infections (see yaws ) and of congenital syphilis (transmission from mother to child in utero The signs and symptoms of syphilis are myriad; before the advent of serological testing , diagnosis was more difficult and the disease was dubbed the "Great-Imitator" because it was so often confused with other diseases. In the United States, about 36,000 cases of syphilis are reported each year, and the actual number is presumed to be higher. About three-fifths of the reported cases occur in men. Syphilis can be treated with penicillin or other antibiotics . Statistically, treatment with a course of pills is dramatically less effective than other treatments, because patients tend not to complete the course. The oldest, and still most effective, method is to inject benzathine penicillin into each buttock (the

In the AIDS population up to 13% of patients are positive to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) Veneral Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL) tests. Without therapy, 510% of patients develop clinical evidence of neurosyphilis. The CNS manifestations of syphilis can be broadly classified into meningeal and parenchymal. Meningeal manifestations range from the acute and more subtle and chronic forms of meningitis and meningoencephalitis up to the formation of circumscribed masses. These gummas are composed, similarly to those in all other sites in the body, of granulation tissue surrounded by mononuclear epithelial and fibroblastic cells and, intracranially, usually located over the cerebral convexities, adherent to both dura and brain parenchyma. Parenchymal manifestations include two types of vasculitis, respectively Heubner's and Nissl's endarteritis, the former affecting large and medium-sized arteries with resultant irregular luminal narrowing and ectasia, the latter primarily involving small vessels in which a luminal narrowing occurs as a consequence of intense proliferation of endothelial and adventitial cells. Vascular neurosyphilis may present with focal neurological deficits as a consequence of arterial occlusion. For so-called meningovascular syphilis the usual interval of infection to symptom onset in the general population is 5 to 10 years.

Physician-authored summaries and The New England Journal of Medicine Antiretroviral Rounds Neurosyphilis: How Do You Know, and What Do You Do? About 8 years ago, Hector was diagnosed with and treated for syphilis. Two years later, he presented with fever and a diffuse papulosquamous eruption after an unprotected sexual contact. His RPR rose to 1:128. He was treated for presumed secondary syphilis. His symptoms resolved, but he began to complain of more frequent headaches. Two years ago, he again developed fever, and papulosquamous eruption localized to his left arm; his RPR rose to 1:128. He was treated again for secondary syphilis. During the past year, Hector's RPR has remained quite elevated, and he still has frequent severe headaches. Hector is a 43-year-old gay man who has been HIV-positive for at least 10 years. His only AIDS-related infection has been a single, self-limited episode of cryptosporidial diarrhea. On various antiretroviral regimens, his CD4 count has ranged from 150 to 250 cells/mm , and his viral load has generally remained less than 5000 copies/mL. Other than a mild peripheral
