Treponema pallidum , a spirochetal bacterium. This is a sexually transmitted disease that has three stages: Primary syphilis symptoms: painless lesions (chancre) at the site of infection (usually penis, vulva, or vagina). These sores heal in about a month or less. Secondary syphilis symptoms: rash (condyloma lata, lymphadenopathy), fever. Late syphilis: lesions on internal organs, expecially the brain and heart. There are sometimes false positive results on syphilis tests for HIV+. Warnings: CATIE lab tests for syphilis may not be accurate standard anti-syphilis therapy may not be effective chronic infection with T. pallidum

   Extractions: In early syphilis, dark field examination of exudate from lesions and direct florescent antibody tests on lesions or tissue are definitive. Non-specific serologic tests are useful for syphilis screening and for monitoring response to treatment. Specific serologic tests are used for establishing the diagnosis. They usually remain positive for life and therefore cannot be used to monitor response to treatment. CSF examination is necessary for diagnosis of neurosyphilis. In HIV-infected individuals, false-positive serological tests despite adequate therapy are possible due to polyclonal B-cell activation or auto-immune processes. Conversely, but extremely rarely, false-negative serological tests have been reported. Extraordinary means (such as direct examination of lesion material) may be necessary to establish the diagnosis in these unusual cases. Gordon et al. have concluded that cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) PCR is not a sensitive test for neurosyphilis in HIV-infected patients. Despite clinical improvements reported in a trial of intravenous penicillin G, CSF VDRL levels measured by PCR remained high in all patients examined.

   Extractions: Course of Neurosyphilis Not Accelerated in HIV-Positive Patients Reuters Health Information Services (09/24/97) Abstract: Data from a study of 30 neurosyphilis patients suggests that HIV infection does not facilitate progression of the disease. Dr. Ricardo Nitrini of the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil and colleagues reviewed all the neurosyphilis cases from the last 10 years at a university-affiliated hospital and found parenchymal forms of neurosyphilis only in patients who did not have HIV. The team concedes that the study was small, they say that the "data do not support the hypothesis of a more rapid course of neurosyphilis in patients co-infected with HIV -1." An earlier study by Katz et al. found syphilitic meningitis and ocular manifestations to be more prevalent in HIV-positive patients than in those not infected with the virus.

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.
