“…Cardiovascular syphilis. Prior to the advent of penicillin therapy, the majority of deaths due to syphilis were thought to result from cardiovascular involvement (260). Typically, syphilitic aortitis involves the ascending aorta; in most cases, aortitis is uncomplicated and asymptomatic.…”

“…(Clark, 1964), the diagnoses were made clinically since neither serologic testing nor microscopy was available when the study began. The results indicate that approximately one-third of the patients developed tertiary manifestations of neurologic, cardiovascular, and gummatous (late benign) syphilis and that the probability of dying due to untreated syphilis was 17% and 8% in females ( (Rosahn, 1947). There was an increased overall mortality in syphilitic compared with nonsyphilitic populations.…”

“…En otro estudio se demostró: el grado de atrofia en el lóbulo temporal se correlacionó inversamente con la posibilidad de una recuperación mental, después del tratamiento intensivo con penicilinas 43 . En el examen neuropatológico del encéfalo con DPP: paquimeningitis con atrofia manifiesta de los lóbulos frontal y temporal (Figura 4A), ependimitis granular, hipergliosis reaccional con proliferación de astrocitos fibrilares "en bastón" (Figura 4B) e infiltrado mononuclear difuso distribuido por la corteza, las meninges y los surcos cerebrales, con acumulación del hierro en los tejidos infectados 1, 17,26 . Los Treponemas argirófilos son particularmente abundantes en la corteza frontal, el hipocampo y los ganglios basales (Tinción de Warthin-Starry) en la mitad de los cerebros examinados, y también dentro de las neuronas utilizando las técnicas de la microscopia electrónica de transmisión, en cortes ultrafinos 1,10,44 (Figura 4C).…”

“…El efecto de masa pseudotumoral comprensiva se diagnostica por la tomografía axial computada (TAC) o la RM y se confirma en la biopsia y con la aplicación molecular de la reacción de polimerasa en cadena (RPC). Los gomas múltiples desaparecen rápidamente bajo un tratamiento con penicilina-6 a dosis altas 17,26,53,54 . J. M. Flood y cols., investigaron retrospectivamente 117 pacientes de NS, diagnosticados así: asinFigura 4.…”
