This condition is now very rare because of penicillin therapy at the onset of primary infection. The CNS is seeded during secondary syphilis. Neurosyphilis may take the form of a variety of syndromes:

A chronic infectious disease caused by a spirochete (Treponema pallidum), either transmitted by direct contact, usually in sexual intercourse, or passed from mother to child in utero, and progressing through three stages characterized respectively by local formation of chancres, ulcerous skin eruptions, and systemic infection leading to general paresis. [New Latin, from “Syphilis, sive Morbus Gallicus,” “Syphilis, or the French Disease,” title of a poem by Girolamo Fracastoro (1478?–1553), from Syphilus , the poem's protagonist.] WORD HISTORY In 1530 Girolamo Fracastoro, a physician, astronomer, and poet of Verona, published a poem entitled “Syphilis, sive Morbus Gallicus,” translated as “Syphilis, or the French Disease.” In Fracastoro's poem the name of this dreaded venereal disease is an altered form of the name of the hero Syphilus, a shepherd who is supposed to have been the first victim of the disease. Where the name Syphilus itself came from is not known for certain, but it has been suggested that Fracastoro borrowed it from Ovid's

An extensive laboratory and radiologic evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of neurosyphilis. Despite the reemergence of syphilis with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) epidemic, neurosyphulis is often neglected in the differential diagnosis of patients with aseptic meningitis and mental status changes who are negative for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The high mortality rate associated with delay in recognition, diagnosis, and ... Read the full article with a Free Trial of HighBeam Research

    Extractions: Infections of the central nervous system caused by TREPONEMA PALLIDUM which present with a variety of clinical syndromes. The initial phase of infection usually causes a mild or asymptomatic meningeal reaction. The meningovascular form may present acutely as BRAIN INFARCTION. The infection may also remain subclinical for several years. Late syndromes include general paresis; TABES DORSALIS; meningeal syphilis; syphilitic OPTIC ATROPHY; and spinal syphilis. General paresis is characterized by progressive DEMENTIA; DYSARTHRIA; TREMOR; MYOCLONUS; SEIZURES; and Argyll-Robertson pupils.

    Extractions: What is it? Syphilis is a disease caused by the organism Treponema pallidum . It is a sexually transmitted disease (STD), meaning that it is spread through sexual activity with someone infected with the bacterium. The infection usually causes disease over a course of several years. If it is not treated early or correctly, it can lead to serious problems, such as heart problems, mental disorders and neurologic problems (neurosyphilis), blindness, dementia, and death. Syphilis is passed from person to person through direct contact with a syphilis sore or lesion. Sores develop early in the course of syphilis, occurring mainly on the external genitals, vagina, anus, or in the rectum. Sores also can occur on the lips and in the mouth. It's important to note that these sores are not painful, so a person might not notice them. Transmission of the organism occurs during vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Pregnant women with the disease can pass it to the babies they are carrying. Rash-like lesions can appear on any part of the body after the sores heal, and are also infectious. Syphilis cannot be spread by toilet seats, door knobs, swimming pools, hot tubs, bath tubs, shared clothing, or eating utensils.

    Extractions: Testing combo helps diagnose neurosyphilis in HIV patients Last Updated: 2004-07-29 15:13:56 -0400 (Reuters Health) NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - The use of cerebrospinal fluid fluorescent treponemal antibody (CSF-FTA) reactivity testing combined with characterization of CSF lymphocytes can help diagnose neurosyphilis in HIV-infected patients, researchers report in the July 13th issue of Neurology. The diagnosis of neurosyphilis is not excluded by standard nonreactive CSF-Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL) testing "and in some cases is based solely on an elevated CSF white blood count," lead investigator Dr. Christina Marra of the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle told Reuters Health. "Establishing the diagnosis of neurosyphilis can be especially difficult in HIV-infected individuals because HIV itself causes mild elevations in CSF white blood cells that can be indistinguishable from the elevations seen in neurosyphilis." To investigate alternative approaches, the researchers used CSF-FTA testing and measurement of the percentage of CSF lymphocytes that were B cells in fresh and frozen serum samples from 47 HIV patients with syphilis and 26 HIV-infected controls.

Serological examination and biopsy established the diagnosis of paretic neurosyphilis. This CT appearance has not previously been described in cases of neurosyphilis. Neurosyphilis should be considered as a potentially treatable cause of a cerebral mass lesion.
