Increased interleukin-17 in peripheral blood and cerebrospinal fluid of neurosyphilis patients. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014
BACKGROUND: Treponema pallidum infection evokes vigorous immune responses, resulting in tissue damage. Several studies have demonstrated that IL-17 may be involved in the pathogenesis of syphilis.

MRI of neurosyphilis with mesiotemporal lobe lesions of 'knife-cut sign' on MRI: A case report and literature review

Heliyon, 2023
Neurosyphilis with mesiotemporal lobe lesions remains a difficult entity to diagnose, especially when it mimics herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE). Here, we report what appeared to be the first case of mesiotemporal imaging of neurosyphilis presenting as ...

Comparison of Treponema-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) index with Treponema pallidum particle agglutination (TPPA) index for detection of intrathecal Treponema-specific antibody synthesis for serological diagnosis of neurosyphilis

GMS Infectious Diseases, 2023
The determination of -specific intrathecal immunoglobulin synthesis with the particle agglutination (TPPA) index is a well-established method recommended in German guidelines for the diagnosis of neurosyphilis.
