We report two syphilitic cases of indeterminable duration. The dramatic cutaneous lesions of the female patient, compatible with secondary-tertiary syphilis associated with a positive VDRL reaction in CSF together with the criteria of neurosyphilis in her male companion (despite normal TPHA and IgG indices), led us to treat both of them in an optimal way. The clinical and serological evolution was favourable.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
