Advances in laboratory diagnosis of neurosyphilis / 中华微生物学和免疫学杂志

ABSTRACT

Neurosyphilis is an infection of the central nervous system caused by Treponema pallidum with complex and atypical clinical manifestations. As no gold standard has been established, the diagnosis of neurosyphilis mainly relies on a comprehensive analysis of epidemiological history, clinical manifestations and laboratory examinations. This review discussed the advances in laboratory examinations of neurosyphilis in order to provide reference for clinical diagnosis of neurosyphilis.
