[Neurosyphilis: an Age-old Problem that is Still Relevant Today]

Abstract

Neurosyphilis is the clinical manifestation of syphilis that can arise during either the early or late stages of infection. Even though dedicated treatment for all clinical forms of syphilis has been available for many years, the advanced stages of the disease are still prevalent, with irreversible sequelae. This article reviews the current evidence, diagnostic methods and specific treatment for tertiary syphilis.
