ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the typing and clinical characteristics of neurosyphilis and provide evidences to improve early diagnostic.Methods Retrospective study of 18 cases of neurosyphilis was performed.Results Acute or subacute onset was observed in most cases; The interstitial neurosyphilis was the commonest, of which the clinical features varied widely and arose primarily from corresponding vascular infarctions; CSF examination revealed increase in pressure, protein and cells.TPHA and RPR were of the highest specificity among the serologic indexes;CT/MRI findings of brain revealed multiple, asymmetrical lesions which were different from those of infarctions caused by hypertension or arteriosclerosis.Conclusion Misdiagnosis rate is high at the initial reception.The clinical manifestations of neurosyphilis are closely related to pathological types. The lab tests and radiological findings are important clues to early diagnosis.
