    What is Tabes Dorsalis? Tabes dorsalis is a slow degeneration of the nerve cells and nerve fibers that carry sensory information to the brain. The degenerating nerves are in the dorsal columns of the spinal cord (the portion closest to the back of the body) and carry information that help maintain a person’s sense of position. Tabes dorsalis is the result of an untreated syphilis infection. Symptoms may not appear for some decades after the initial infection and include weakness, diminished reflexes, unsteady gait, progressive degeneration of the joints, loss of coordination, episodes of intense pain and disturbed sensation, personality changes, dementia, deafness, visual impairment, and impaired response to light. The disease is more frequent in males than in females. Onset is commonly during mid-life. The incidence of tabes dorsalis is rising, in part due to co-associated HIV infection.

    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.

    Syphilitic myelopathy
    Definition:
    Syphilitic myelopathy is a disorder characterized by muscle weakness and abnormal sensations caused by untreated syphilis infections.
    Alternative Names: Tabes dorsalis
    Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Syphilitic myelopathy is a form of neurosyphilis , which is a progressive, life-threatening complication of late or tertiary syphilis infection. The condition called tabes dorsalis includes syphilitic myelopathy and additional symptoms of nerve damage.
    The infection damages the tissue of the spinal cord and peripheral nervous tissue. This causes decreased muscle function (myelopathy), including progressive weakness of the legs, arms, and other areas. Loss of function may eventually result in paralysis . Coordination difficulties contribute to problems walking . There are often changes in sensation, including painful paresthesia abnormal sensations ), which are often referred to as "lightning pains."
    In syphilitic myelopathy, the muscle problems are accompanied by other symptoms characteristic of nervous system damage caused by

    Home Syphilis DESCRIPTION Syphilis is a sexually transmitted or congenital infection caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. Syphilis has several stages. In the primary stage, painless sores, called chancres, appear approximately 2-3 weeks after initial exposure. Some individuals with primary syphilis may not notice chancres nor have symptoms associated with them, in particular if the chancres are located in the rectum or cervix. In about 4 to 6 weeks chancres will usually disappear. Approximately one-third of untreated individuals will progress to the second stage: secondary syphilis. This usually occurs at about 2 to 8 weeks after the appearance of the original chancre in some cases the chancre may still be present. Secondary syphilis is the stage where the bacteria have spread in the bloodstream and have reached their highest numbers. The most common symptoms include: skin rash which can be varied in appearance, yet frequently involves the palms and soles, in addition to lesions in the mouth, vagina, penis (mucous patches), swollen lymph nodes, and fever. This stage is the most contagious stage of syphilis. It usually resolves within weeks to a year. A latent phase follows, which may last for years and is characterized by the absence of symptoms.

    T: T-cell:
    A white blood cell made in the thymus gland, a lymphoid structure in the upper chest. (The T in T-cell stands for Thymus). The T-cells coordinate the immune system by secreting lymphokine hormones. There are 3 fundamentally different types of T cells : helper, killer, and suppressor. Each has many subdivisions. T-cells are also called T lymphocytes. Triiodothyronine, a thyroid hormone. (The number 3 is usually in subscript.) Thyroid hormones are essential for the function of every cell in the body. They help regulate growth and the rate of chemical reactions (metabolism) in the body. Thyroxine, a thyroid hormone. (The number 4 is usually in subscript.) Thyroid hormones are essential for the function of every cell in the body. They help regulate growth and the rate of chemical reactions (metabolism) in the body. T4 cell: Immune cells that are triggered by antibodies to seek and attack invading organisms. Cells called macrophanges summon T4 cells to the site of the infection and present a protruding antigen onto which the T4 cell locks, thus "recognizing" the invading substance. The T4 cell then reproduces and secretes its potent lymphokine hormones that stimulate B-cell production of antibodies; signal "natural killer" or cytotoxic (cell-killing) T-cells; and summon more macrophanges to the site of the infection. T4 cells are normally twice as common as T8 cells. If a person has AIDS, the proportion of T4 to T8 cells is often reversed. T4 cell are also called T-helper cells.

Douglas Moray Cooper Lamb Argyll Robertson
    was one of the first surgeons to specialize entirely in the field of ophthalmology and his name has been forever associated with the phenomenon he described in the pupil found in tabes dorsalis. Not until the beginning of this century was lues generally accepted as the definitive causes of the different manifestations from the nervous system, following the discovery by Schaudinn and Hoffmann of the treponema pallidium in 1905 and August Paul von Wassermann’s (1866-1925) serologic test in 1906. Douglas Moray Cooper Lamb Argyll Robertson was born in 1837 in Edinburgh, where his father, John Argyll Robertson, was a general surgeon, with a special interest in surgery of the eye. He received his early education in Edinburgh, and then studied medicine at St. Andrews, from where he graduated in 1857, the year of his father’s death. He returned to Edinburgh to work as a house surgeon at the Royal Infirmary before departing for Berlin to study under the leading ophthalmologist of the day, Albrecht von Graefe (1828-1870). In this he was following on the work of his father who had been a lecturer in surgery at Edinburgh in the extra-mural school and had confined himself chiefly to ophthalmic surgery. During the 1850s, the invention of the ophthalmoscope by Hermann Ludwig Ferdinand von Helmholtz (1821-1894) in 1851, and the new operations such as iridectomy introduced by von Graefe in 1856 ensured that ophthalmology developed into a specialty of its own right.
