Physician-authored summaries and The New England Journal of Medicine Summary and Comment Reports on Neurosyphilis Managing syphilis in patients with HIV remains controversial. These two reports highlight the difficulties of diagnosing and monitoring a response to therapy for patients co-infected with HIV and syphilis. Gordon, et al. report the outcome of 11 patients with neurosyphilis (defined by reactivity in serum treponemal tests, a reactive cerebrospinal fluid VDRL, and the presence of neurologic symptoms). The patients were treated with conventional doses of intravenous penicillin G (18 to 24 million units per day) for ten days. Five patients had prior therapy for syphilis that apparently failed to prevent the development of neurosyphilis. Six weeks after therapy, serum RPR titers fell by two or more dilutions in four patients, and CSF VDRL decreased by two or more dilutions in seven patients. By 24 weeks, serum RPR fell in four of seven evaluable patients and CFS VDRL decreased or was nonreactive in four patients. Two patients had no improvement in serum or CSF titers or in cerebrospinal fluid profiles.

NEUROSYPHILIS: A CASE REPORT Vanja Bašiæ, Slava Podobnik-Šarkanji, Vesna Šeriæ and Vida Demarin University Department of Neurology, Sestre milosrdnice University Hospital, Zagreb, Croatia SUMMARY – A 37-year-old woman presented with rapidly progressive gait unsteadiness and diplopia. She had right sixth nerve palsy, ataxia, and decreased patellar and Achilles reflexes. The cerebrospinal fluid protein content was 0.86 g/L, and she had pleocytosis. One year later, re-evaluation revealed active neurosyphilis in the freshly drawn serum and cerebrospinal fluid samples. Clinical findings were consistent with tabes dorsalis. Key words: Neurosyphilis; Case report Introduction Syphilis is an infectious disease caused by Treponema (T.) pallidum , which is a natural pathogen only in humans. The infection is mainly acquired by sexual intercourse with an infected individual, but it can also be acquired by vertical transmission at delivery, by laboratory accidents, or through blood transfusion Four stages are distinguished in the natural course of syphilis: primary, secondary or disseminated, latent, and tertiary syphilis. Syphilis is classified as ’early’ up to the first year of latency, whereafter it is called ’late’ syphilis. Neurosyphilis can develop as a manifestation of both early and late syphilis. Neurosyphilitic syndromes in secondary syphilis include meningitis and cranial nerve palsies. In tertiary syphilis, three distinct clinical syndromes have been described: meningovascular syphilis, parenchymatous syphilis, and tabes dorsalis

This can lead to destruction in many areas of the nervous system , causing loss of function of a person's arms or legs, loss of vision, and altered mental abilities. Neurosyphilis can affect many different body systems and may develop over an extended period of time. Symptoms of neurosyphilis usually include: Personality changes, such as confusion and irritability. Hearing loss. Decreased ability to concentrate. Memory loss. Difficulty speaking or understanding speech. Tremor of the fingers and lips. Mild headaches. Disorderly appearance. Other symptoms may include: A wide gait. Numbness or tingling of the hands or feet. Muscle pain. Joint destruction because of lack of sensation (Charcot's joint). Inability to control urine or stool (urinary or fecal incontinence). Neurosyphilis is divided into two major categories based on the areas of the nervous system affected.

Related Content Related Content Neurosyphilis (Disease) Central nervous system Definition Neurosyphilis is a slowly progressive and destructive infection of the brain or spinal cord. It occurs in untreated syphilis many years after the primary infection. Causes And Risk Neurosyphilis occurs in 15 to 20% of all late or tertiary syphilis infections 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. In meningovascular neurosyphilis, cranial nerve palsies and pupil abnormalities may be among a wide variety of symptoms. This may also cause damage to blood vessels resulting in stroke. In tabes dorsalis, progressive degeneration of the spinal cord occurs causing an inability to walk.

Stroke secondary to syphilis affects 2 out of 1 million people.

1. Definition Ein Patient leidet wahrscheinlich an einer Neurosyphilis, wenn mindestens zwei der nachfolgenden Punkte 1. bis 3. und immer der Punkt 4. gegeben sind: Chronisch-progredienter Verlauf einer neurologisch-psychiatrischen Symptomatik mit Phasen von Verschlechterung und Teilremission; Pathologische Liquorbefunde mit gemischtzelliger oder mononukleärer Pleozytose, Blut-Liquor-Schrankenstörung und /oder IgG-dominanter Immunreaktion im ZNS; Günstige Beinflussung von Krankheitsverlauf und/oder Liquorbefunden (v.a. Pleozytose und Schrankenstörung) durch Antibiotika. Positiver Ausfall des TPHA-(oder TPPA-)Tests und des FTA-Abs-Test im Serum. Ein Patient leidet sicher an einer Neurosyphilis, wenn eine lokale treponemenspezifische Antikörperreaktion, messbar über einen spezifischen Antikörper-Index (empfohlen: ITpA-Test), vorliegt. Das Erscheinungsbild des syphilitischen ZNS-Befalls hängt ab vom Krankheitsstadium, in dem es auftritt. Im Sekundärstadium sind leichte Meningitis, Hirnnervenläsionen (N. VIII, VII und III), Polyradikulitis und selten vaskuläre Hirnstammsyndrome möglich. Während der Spätlatenz (>1 Jahr nach Infektion) werden die „asymptomatische“ Neurosyphilis (entzündlicher Liquor ohne klinisches Korrelat) wie auch die unklassifizierbare Neurosyphilis beobachtet. Letztere bietet eine vielfältige, aber nur gering ausgeprägte Symptomatik bei entzündlichem Liquorbefund.
