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.

Disease Nutrition Surgery Symptoms Injury ... Encyclopedia (English) Toggle English Spanish Neurosyphilis Overview Symptoms Treatment Prevention Definition: Neurosyphilis is a slowly progressive and destructive infection of the brain or spinal cord that occurs in untreated syphilis many years after the primary infection. Causes, incidence, and risk factors: 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 syphilis. In this case, abnormalities may be present in the cerebrospinal fluid, but no symptoms are present. In meningovascular neurosyphilis, cranial nerve palsies and pupillary abnormalities may be present with 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. In general paresis

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

This is the lowest level since reporting began in 1941 ]. Although the incidence of syphilis has declined in all regions of the United States and in all racial and ethnic groups, its incidence rate is nonuniformly distributed. Rates are disproportionately higher in the southern United States and among non-Hispanic blacks ]. Rates as high as 5.9% had been observed in Brazil when CSF VDRL testing was performed on patients infected with HIV ]. Neurosyphilis should be considered as a potential cause of neurologic disease in virtually any population.

Causes, incidence, and risk factors: 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.
